Configuring a Static IP Route
Overview
A static IP route is a description of a path to an IP subnet whose
net-work address is not known to the FRITZ!Box.
Application Example
Static IP routes are intended for the following situation:
• In the FRITZ!Box network there is a subnet whose network address
in the FRITZ!Box is unknown.
• The network devices in the subnet are to communicate with the
network devices of the FRITZ!Box or access the internet via the
FRITZ!Box .
• Only relevant for IPv4: The router that spans the subnet does not do
NAT (Network Address Translation).
How Static IP Routes Work
IP packets whose IP destination addresses are unknown are forward-
ed to the internet by default. In the application described above, be-
cause the FRITZ!Box does not know the destination addresses locat-
ed in the subnet, it forwards the packet to the internet. To prevent this
from happening and have the packets forwarded to the subnet instead,
the FRITZ!Box must know the network address of the subnet and the
IP address of the interface to the subnet. These two addresses are re-
quired to configure a static route. Static IP routes are registered in the
routing table.
