4.4.12 ADVANCED – Static Routing
If the Router is required to serve more than one network, you will need to set up a Static Route between the
networks. Static routing can be used to allow users from one IP domain to access the Internet through the
Router in another domain. A Static Route provides the defined pathway that network information must travel
to reach the specific host or network which is providing Internet access.
Configuring Static Routing:
If the Router is connected to more than one network, it may be
necessary to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that
network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. Follow the following steps to
create a Static Route:

contact between the gateway and the remote network.
