Routing; Overview; The Routing Screen - ZyXEL Communications VMG5313-B30A User Manual

9.1 Overview

The VMG usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to
the Internet. To have the VMG send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use
static routes.
For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the VMG's LAN interface. The VMG
routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the VMG's default gateway (R1). You create one
static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create another static
route to communicate with a separate network behind a router R3 connected to the LAN.
