Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your ZyAIR.
10.1 Static Route Overview
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the ZyAIR has
no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ZyAIR knows about network N2 in the following
figure through remote node Router 1. However, the ZyAIR is unable to route a packet to network N3 because
it doesn't know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static
routes are for you to tell the ZyAIR about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
