How To Configure Static Routes - NETGEAR FVS318 - ProSafe VPN Firewall Router Reference Manual

When you first configured your Firewall, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local
network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on
the 134.177.0.0 network, your Firewall will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards
your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the
company's firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your Firewall that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route would look like
In this example:
• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to
all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
• A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
