Static routes
Static routes are IP routes that are maintained manually. Each static route acts as a pointer that tells the
Router how to reach a par ticular network. However, static routes are used only if they appear in the IP routing
table, which contains all of the routes used by the Router (see
“IP Routing Table” on page 9-6
).
Static routes are helpful in situations where a route to a network must be used and other means of finding the
route are unavailable. For example, static routes are useful when you cannot rely on RIP.
To go to the Static Routes screen, select
Static Routes
in the IP Setup
screen and press Return.
The Static Routes screen will appear.
Viewing static routes
