4.4 Configuring Static Route for Routing to Another
Network
In order to extend your Intranet and control traffic flowing directions, you may connect a router to the
Zyxel Device’s LAN. The router may be used to separate two department networks. This tutorial shows
how to configure a static routing rule for two network routings.
In the following figure, router
R
is connected to the Zyxel Device’s LAN.
R
connects to two networks,
N1
(192.168.1.x/24) and
N2
(192.168.10.x/24). If you want to send traffic from computer
A
(in
N1
network) to
computer
B
(in
N2
network), the traffic is sent to the Zyxel Device’s WAN default gateway by default. In
this case,
B
will never receive the traffic.
You need to specify a static routing rule on the Zyxel Device to specify
R
as the router in charge of
forwarding traffic to
N2
. In this case, the Zyxel Device routes traffic from
A
to
R
and then
R
routes the
traffic to
B
.
