If the Gateway is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to
set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway
that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You
can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet
through the Gateway.
The Gateway is also capable of dynamic routing (see the Dynamic Routing
tab). It is usually better to use dynamic routing because it allows the Gateway
to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout.
To set up static routing, you should add routing entries in the Gateway’s table,
so the Gateway knows where to send all incoming packets.
To create a static route entry:
1. Select a Static Route Entry from the drop-down list. The Gateway sup-
ports up to eight static route entries.
