In this case you have to define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. 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 traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
A metric value of 1 works since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

1. Select Advanced >
Advanced Setup > Static Routes, and click Add to display the
following screen:
2. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.)
3. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only

4. Select the Active check box to make this route ef

router.
8. T
