Figure 40. Routed Network
The solution is to define, in addition to a default gateway, a specific gateway for certain subnets by configuring static routes. To configure
these routes, you must describe each subnet in your network and identify the most suitable gateway to access that subnet.
Static routes do not have to be designated for the entire network—a default gateway is most suitable when performance is not an issue.
You can select when and where to use static routes to best meet performance needs.
