Static Route

9.1 Overview

The P-660RU-Tx usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the P-660RU-Tx send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes.

For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the P-660RU-Tx’s LAN interface. The P-660RU-Tx routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the P-660RU-Tx’s default gateway (R1). You create one static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2.
