You only need to configure Static Routing entries if you need to access a WAN network that is not
directly connected to the system, or if you need to access a LAN network through a router that does
not support IP RIP. Static Routes specify the IP address of the next hop router or gateway that
provides access to this network.
The following diagram gives an example of a static route definition.
In the above diagram, the Static Route entry indicates that access to IP Network 156.1.0.0 is
available through the external router at 192.1.1.2.
A static route is not needed for the CyberSWITCH to access WAN Direct Host 128.1.1.3. Because
these two devices are directly connected, (note that the IP addresses are on the same subnet), that
route will automatically be established through the system’s IP RIP capabilities.
A static route is not needed for system access to IP network 131.1.0.0 through 128.1.1.2 because that
route will also be automatically established through the system’s IP RIP capabilities.
