under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after you configure the internet access information, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. you must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple ip subnets located on your network.

    to view the routes in the routing table:

    1. in the manager interface, open menu 24 - system maintenance.

    2. type 8 and press [enter] to change to the command interpreter mode.

    3. at the command prompt, type:

    ip route stat

    4. press [enter].

    the command interpreter displays the static ip routing table as shown in the example in figure 8-7.

   

    in this example, the first route shown is the local ethernet subnet connected to the lan interface (enif0). the second route is the default route, through the wan interface (enif1). all traffic from the lan to a destination outside the lan will be sent to the default route and will be handled by the isp.

    5. after viewing the table, type “exit” to return to the menus.

    to create additional static routes for ip:

    1. in the manager interface, open menu 12 - ip static route setup.

    2. select an unused number from the menu and press [enter].

    menu 12.1 - edit ip static route opens as shown in figure 8-8.

   

    3. enter settings for the static route entry.

    table 8-5 lists and describes the fields for menu 12.1 - edit ip static route.

    table 8-5. edit ip static route fields

   

   

    4. press [enter] at the press enter to confirm... prompt to save your selections, or press [esc] at any time to cancel your selections.
