Static Route

This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your ZyWALL.

23.1 IP Static Route

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the ZyWALL has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ZyWALL knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the ZyWALL is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to tell the ZyWALL about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

Figure 188 Example of Static Routing Topology

23.2 IP Static Route

Click ADVANCED, STATIC ROUTE to open the IP Static Route screen (some of the screen’s blank rows are not shown).

Note: The first two static route entries are for default WAN1 and WAN2 routes on a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports; the first static route entry is for the default WAN route on a ZyWALL with a single WAN port. You cannot modify or delete a static default route. The name of the default static route is left blank unless you configure a static WAN IP address.
