Routing List
List of static route that you configured previously.
Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
All traffic for devices not on the local LAN must be forwarded to the Router, so that they
can be forwarded to the Internet. This is done by configuring other Routers to use the
Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway, as illustrated by the example below.
Static Routing – Example
Router B
(192.168.2.90)
(192.168.3.70)
Router A
Segment 0
Segment 2
Segment 1
(192.168.1.xx)
(192.168.2.xx)
(192.168.1.100)
(192.168.1.1)
(192.168.3.xx)
(192.168.2.80)
