Static Routing:
You will need to configure Static Routing if there are multiple routers installed on your network. The static
routing function determines the path that data follows over your network before and after it passes through

device. This is an advanced feature. Please proceed with caution.
This Router is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic Routing tab). In many cases, it is better to
use dynamic routing because the function will allow the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes
in the network layout. In order to use static routing, the Router's DHCP settings must be disabled.
To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Router's table that tells the device where to
send all incoming packets. All of your network routers should direct the default route entry to the SMC
Router.
