automatically and allows you to try the static configuration before saving
it to disk. The STATICON configuration becomes active immediately;
you do not need to reinitialize or restart the router.

This section contains the following topics:
"Configuring Static Routes and Services with NIASCFG" on page 54
"Configuring Static Routes and Services with STATICON" on page 56
NOTE:
If you plan to configure static routing information, we recommend using
STATICON to avoid potential routing loops.
Before you configure static routes and services with NIASCFG, determine the
addresses of the networks or hosts that you want to access. Then set up a WAN
call destination, on each router, to the router at the other end of the
connection.
WARNING:
When setting up a call destination, be sure you set the Remote
System ID parameter to the server name of the system initiating the inbound call.
The local system checks each inbound call against the remote system ID.
To configure static routes with NIASCFG, complete the following steps:
1
Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:
Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > Bindings > a WAN
interface > WAN Call Destinations.
2
Select a WAN call destination from the list, or press Ins to choose from
a list of available call destinations.

Select Static Routes.
A new screen displays any configured static routes.

Press Ins , then enter the following information:

on-demand call.
