Static Route
15.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your NBG-417N.
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your NBG-417N.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the
NBG-417N has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the NBG-417N knows about
network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the NBG-417N 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 NBG-
417N about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
