CHAPTER 16
Static Route Screens
16.1 Overview
The LAN-Cell usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from local computers
to the Internet. To have the LAN-Cell send data to devices not reachable through the default
gateway, use static routes.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and
the LAN-Cell has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the LAN-Cell knows
about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the LAN-
Cell is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route
through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to
tell the LAN-Cell about the networks beyond the remote nodes.

16.1.1 What You Can Do in the Static Route Screens
• Use the IP Static Route screen (Section 16.2 on page 339) to display the current static
route entries.
• Use the IP Static Route Edit screen (Section 16.2.1 on page 341) to configure the
required information for a static route.
