Static/VPN Networks

To continue with this example, if Network B is not configured to advertise Network C
to Network A, then Network A will not dynamically learn of Network C’s existence. If
you wish to establish a route on Network A to Network C, you must define a static route
on Network A that indicates that Network C may be accessed through remote Adit B.

To set up a static route, you must define the following routing information:

The address of the network you wish to reach;

How far away from the local LAN the network is located (in terms of metric
measurement or hops, depending on the protocol)

Whether the network can be reached on the local LAN (via the LAN port) or
through a remote Adit unit.

If you are using the local LAN, you will also need to define the address (either IP or
MAC, depending on the protocol) of the first gateway (i.e. Adit or router) you will use
to reach the network you are defining.
It is important to note that if the static network is reached via a Remote (WAN) Adit,
it must be defined by choosing the SETUP: <Static Networks> option on the
corresponding Remote (WAN) Profile Setup window. Static networks that are reached
via the local LAN must be defined by choosing the SETUP <Static Networks> option
on the Local (LAN) Profile Setup window.

NOTE: All static routes are considered filters and will be applied toward the
maximum allowable number of 500 filters.
