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