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.

•
The
Gateway IP Address
field specifies that all traffic for these addresses will be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
•
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
•
The
Private
check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP
is activated.
Set Up a Static Route

1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.

7.
Select the
Private
check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.
If the
Private
check box is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
8.
Select the
Active
check box to make this route effective.
9.
Type the IP address of the final destination.
10.
Type the IP subnet mask for this destination.
If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255
.
11.
Type the gateway IP address, which must be on the same LAN segment as the router.
12.
Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
