This chapter shows you how to setup IP static routes.

21.1 Static Route

Static routes tell the ZyXEL Device routing information that it cannot learn automatically
through other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote
network is beyond the one that is directly connected to a remote node.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and
the ZyXEL Device has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ZyXEL
Device knows about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1.
However, the ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device about the networks beyond the remote
nodes.

21.2 IP Static Route Setup

To configure an IP static route, use Menu 12 – Static Routing Setup (shown next).
