Carrier Access CMG Router Manual De Usuario

Static networks allow fixed, or pre-determined routes, which increases the control over 
routing choices within your network. Although Adit units are able to dynamically learn 
routing information through RIP packets, you may wish to disable this feature and 
manually enter fixed routes. (Disable Learning by choosing the <Neither> option in 
the LAN Network Updates field on the Local (LAN) Profile Setup screen.) Static 
routing may be preferred if:

Routers within a network are not configured to advertise, thereby escaping the 
automatic learning capabilities of the Adit unit
Advertising is disabled so that access to certain networks may be restricted for 
security purposes or,  to decrease traffic on the LAN and across the WAN
You wish to keep routing tables small in order to increase LAN/WAN 
performance

Static routing may also be preferable when managing large networks. Often times it is 
easier to disable the learning mode and manually enter routes, rather than review each 
routing table entry and determine its advertising status. 
As a static routing example, let’s assume that we have three networks, A, B and C. 
Network B, is connected to Network C via a router, and to Network A via a remote 
Adit. Network B may not learn of Network A’s existence if advertising was disabled 
on Router 1. Therefore, if you wish to establish an entry in the routing table indicating 
a route between Network B and Network C, you can define a static route on Network B.
