Routing
9.1 Overview
The VDSL Router usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the
LAN to the Internet. To have the VDSL Router 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 VDSL Router’s LAN interface.
The VDSL Router routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the VDSL Router’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.
