ZyWALL 2 Series User’s Guide

Chapter 9

Static Route Screens

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

9.1Static Route Overview

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.
