Static Route
8.1 Overview
The Device usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN
to the Internet. To have the Device 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 Device’s LAN interface. The
Device routes most traffic from
A
to the Internet through the Device’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
LAN.
