CHAPTER 14
Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your P-660HWP-Dx.
14.1 Static Route
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and
the P-660HWP-Dx has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the P-660HWP-
Dx knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However,
the P-660HWP-Dx is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that
there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static
routes are for you to tell the P-660HWP-Dx about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
