IP Static Route Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes with your Prestige.
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information what it cannot learn automatically through other means.
This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN.

Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige has
no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the following
diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige 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 Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
