20.2.2 Bridge Static Route Setup
Similar to network layer static routes, a bridging static route tells the Prestige the route to a
node before a connection is established. You configure bridge static routes in menu 12.3.1 (go
to menu 12, choose option 3, then choose a static route to edit) as shown next.
