If you have configured multiple Ethernet IP subnets, the IP Setup screen changes slightly:

The IP address and Subnet mask items are hidden, and the Define Additional Subnets... item becomes Subnet
Configuration.... If you select Subnet Configuration, you will return to the IP Subnets screen that allows you to
define IP addresses and masks for additional Ethernet IP subnets.

Static routes

Static routes are IP routes that are maintained manually. Each static route acts as a pointer that tells the
Router how to reach a par ticular network. However, static routes are used only if they appear in the IP routing
table, which contains all of the routes used by the Router (see

“IP Routing Table” on page 9-6

).

Static routes are helpful in situations where a route to a network must be used and other means of finding the
route are unavailable. For example, static routes are useful when you cannot rely on RIP.

To go to the Static Routes screen, select Static Routes in the IP Setup screen and press Return.
