Setting up Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal
circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure
static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on
your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Y
our primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• Y
ou have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
