Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router
5-6 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the
following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The
static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
