5.1.2 Static Route Setup

Static routes tell the Prestige 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
N1
remote node.

Figure 5-4 Example of Static Routing Topology

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly
connected, and the Prestige has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For
instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the following diagram through
remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through remote node
Router 2. Static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about networks beyond the
remote nodes.
