Configure Static Routing
The router allows the network administrator to add a static routing entry
into its routing table so that the router can re-route IP packets to
another network router. This feature is very useful for a network with
more than one router.
The diagram below illustrates a case in which you have two routers in
the network. One router is used for broadband Internet sharing while
another router connects to a remote office. You may then define a
static routing entry in the router to re-route the packets to the remote
office.
In this network, the main office of subnet 192.168.168.0 contains two
routers: the office is connected to the Internet via the router
(192.168.168.1) and to the remote office via Router A (192.168.168.254).
The remote office resides on a subnet 192.168.100.0.
You may add a static routing entry into the router’s routing tables so
that IP packets from the clients in the main office with a destination IP
address of 192.168.100.X (where X is any number from 2 to 254) will be
routed to the Router B, which acts as the gateway to that subnet.

Important: You do NOT need to set any routing
information if you are simply configuring the
router for broadband Internet sharing. Imprope
r
routing configuration will cause undesired effect.
