4.6.8 Static Routing
If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a
predefined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to
allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the router.
The New Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter
the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network
address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field should be 0. The Subnet Mask identifies
which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The router IP address should be the IP address of the router device that allows for contact
between the router and the remote network or host. The Hop Count determines the maximum number of steps between
network nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the network (such as a router or switch)
To enable Static Routing, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Static Routing. Figure 17
illustrates a typical Static Route.
