Static Route

Static Routes allow the manual forwarding of traffic to networks that are not a part of the router internal
routable networks.
To create a Static Route:
1. Click Static Route.
2. For our example we will be forwarding traffic destined for the unknown network
(192.168.222.0/24) to the IP address of the Gateway device which has knowledge of that network
(192.168.1.111). First click Add New Item.
3. Target IP Address will be the network which must be accessed and is not directly known by the
router (192.168.222.0). Target Netmask is the Subnet Mask of that network (255.255.255.0).
Gateway is the IP Address traffic should be forwarded to in order to reach that new network
(192.168.1.111). An example of this would be the WAN IP address of a second router connecting
to the LAN of the router. In order to reach the second routers LAN a static route must be added to
inform the router of the Gateway IP that has direct knowledge of this new network. Zone should
match the Network Zone of the Gateway traffic will be forwarded to. Metric can optionally be
