Configure IP Routing—“Static Route” Entries

IP routes which are manually entered into the IP Routing table are called static routes. These routes are added to the routing table to ensure that routes between units or the critical paths for important applications are fully defined for management.

It is important to enter static routes when configuring the unit to use unnumbered links because these routes will not be learned by the unit.

Set up the IP Routing table to associate an IP route with a unit name.

1Enter CO RO IP to display the Configured IP Routes screen.

2Enter ADD to display the Add Routing Table Entry screen.

3Type the IP address of the remote LAN in the Target field.

4Type a valid subnet mask for the remote network in the Subnet Mask field.

Unit names are case-sensitive and must be entered correctly.
