Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration
5.1.2 Static Route Setup
Static routes tell the
Prestige
routing informatio n that it cannot learn automatically through
other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is
beyond the one that is directly connected to a remote node.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and
the
Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the
Prestige
knows
about network N2 in the following diagram through remote node R. However, the
Prestige
is
unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through
remote node R. The static routes are for you to tell the
Prestige
about the networks beyond the
remote nodes.
