Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your ZyWALL.
12.1 Static Route Overview
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and
the ZyWALL has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the ZyWALL knows
about network N2 in the following figure through remote node Router 1. However, the
ZyWALL is unable to route a packet to network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a
route through the same remote node Router 1 (via gateway Router 2). The static routes are for
you to tell the ZyWALL about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
Figure 83 Example of Static Routing Topology
12.2 Configuring IP Static Route
Click STATIC ROUTE to open the IP Static Route screen (some of the screen’s blank rows
are not shown).
Note: The first static route entry is for default WAN route and cannot be modified or
deleted. The name of the default static route is left blank unless you configure a
static WAN IP address.
The default route is disabled after you change the static WAN IP address to a
dynamic WAN IP address.
