Adding the Static Routes

Adding the Static Routes

Use the Configuration | System | IP Routing | Static Routes menu to add any necessary static routes. Unless configured earlier using the CLI, the Static Routes box should be empty or show only any configure default gateway. Use the Add button to bring up the screen, shown in Figure 14-16, to add any static routes required. The figure shows configuring a route specifically to the network the remote host is on. Because the default gateway would accomplish the same result, this static rout is included only as an example.

Figure 14-16: Creating a new static route

On the static route screen, you can specify the Destination Router Address (next-hop) or the Interface (Concentrator Public). Clicking the Add button returns to the Configuration | System | IP Routing | Static Routes screen. Figure 14-17 shows the Static Routes screen with a default gateway, a static route pointing to a next-hop router and another one pointing at the Concentrator public interface. The last entry shows a possible configuration if the LAN protected by the Concentrator included the 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.127.0 networks built around additional routers and/or Layer 3 switches.
