Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router
5-6 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration
5.3 Static Route Setup
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information 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 R1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to network
N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through the same remote node R1 (via gateway R2). The
static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
