Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do not
need to add static routes. You need to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as
multiple modem 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 a cable modem to an ISP.
• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router
’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem 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 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem 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.
In this case you need to define a static route, instructing your modem router that 134.177.0.0
is accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:
• The Destination IP
Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traf
fic for these addresses is forwarded to
the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100.
• A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN modem router is on the LAN.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
