Static routes are manually configured on each router and are not exchanged among routers. If a static route needs to be advertised into another dynamic routing domain, exporting static routes configuration is needed.
In the following network diagram, RIP is enabled on all interfaces of GW-1, SW-1 and SW-2. RIP is also enabled on the ATM interface of GW-3, but it is not enabled on Ethernet interface of GW-3. Therefore, the network, 205.226.26.0 is not learned in RIP on SW-1, SW-2 and GW-1.
In order to reach network 205.226.26.0 from SW-2, a static route must be
defined on SW-2.
By exporting static this route on SW-2 to RIP, other routers, such as SW-1 and GW-1 will also learn network 205.226.26.0 from RIP.
After normal IP and RIP configuration from clearVISN IP Switch Manager, do the following
steps.
This will allow SW-2 to export static route to network 205.226.26.0/24
to the RIP domain.
