Custom Static Routes

Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless you use multiple routers or multiple IP

subnets on your network.

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

• Your main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.

• Your home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company where you

are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.

• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.

When you set up your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was

created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local

network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you try to access a device on

the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your

request to the company where you are employed, and the company firewall is likely to deny

the request.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0 through

the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example:

• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route

applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
