Static Routing
Static Routes
provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal
circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured
for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must
configure static routes only for unusual cases such as when having multiple routers or
using multiple IP subnets located in your network.
To add or edit Static Routes:
1. Type the Destination
IP Address
of the final destination.
2. Type the IP
Subnet Mask
for this destination. If the destination is a single host,
type 255.255.255.255.
3. Type the
Gateway
IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN
segment as the router.
4. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the
Metric
value. This represents the
number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of
2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.
