Set Up and Manage Custom Static Routes
Static routes provide detailed routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static
routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as when you use multiple routers
or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
•
Your primary Internet access is through an ADSL modem to an ISP.
•
You use an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed.
This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
•
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created
with your ISP as the gateway and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x
addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your
router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are
employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
