Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes.
34.1 Static Routing Overview
The Switch usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the Switch 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 Switch. The Switch routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the Switch’s default gateway (R1). You create one static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create another static route to communicate with a separate network behind a router R3 connected to the Switch.
