Static Route Setup

Static routes tell the Prestige routing informatio n 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 Prestige has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows
about network N2 in the following diagram through remote node R. 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 R. The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the
remote nodes.
