Set Up A Static Route - NETGEAR RAXE300 User Manual

Nighthawk AXE7800 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Model RAXE300
With this configuration, if you try to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network at the
remote office site, your router forwards your request to your ISP. In turn, the ISP forwards
your request to the remote office site, where the firewall will deny the request.
In this situation, you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0
addresses through your ADSL router at its LAN address of 192.168.1.100.
Here is an example static route setting for this configuration:
• Destination IP address and subnet mask settings: The route applies to all addresses
at the remote site, so set the destination IP address to 134.177.0.0 and the subnet
mask to 255.255.255.0.
• Gateway IP address: Traffic for addresses in the 134.177.0.0 network must be
forwarded to the ADSL router, so set the gateway IP address to 192.168.1.100 (the
ADSL router's address on your LAN).
• Private route: Make the static route private as a security precaution in case Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) is activated. A private route is not reported in RIP messages.
