Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes to specified destinations.
22.1 Static Route Overview
Static routes tell the VSG routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other
means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is
beyond the one that is directly connected to a remote node.
means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is
beyond the one that is directly connected to a remote node.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and
the VSG has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the VSG knows about
network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the VSG is
unable to route a packet to network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through
remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The static routes allow you to tell the VSG about the
networks beyond the remote nodes.
