202CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING WX SYSTEM PARAMETERS

Creating a Static The IP routing table contains routes that MSS uses for determining the Route interfaces for a WX switch’s external communications. When you add an

IP interface to a VLAN that is up, MSS automatically adds corresponding entries to the IP routing table.

For destination routes that are not directly attached, you can add static routes. A static route specifies the destination and the gateway router through which to forward traffic.You can add the following types of static routes:

„Explicit route—Forwarding path for traffic to a specific destination

„Default route—Forwarding path for traffic to a destination without an explicit route

If the IP routing table contains an explicit route for a given destination,

MSS uses the route. Otherwise, MSS uses a default route.

(For more information about static routes, see the “Configuring and Managing IP Routes” section in the “Configuring and Managing IP Interfaces and Services” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Configuration Guide.)

To create a static route:

1Access the Create Route wizard:

a Select the Configuration tool bar option.

b In the Organizer panel, click the plus sign next to the WX switch. c Click the plus sign next to System.

d Select IP Services.

e In the Task List panel, select Route.

2To configure a default route, select Default Route and go to step 3.

Otherwise, in the Destination IP Address box, type the destination IP address and subnet mask in classless interdomain routing (CIDR) notation (for example, 10.10.0.0/16).

3In the Gateway box, type the IP address of the gateway that the route uses.

4In the Metric box, specify the cost for using the route (0 to 2,147,483,647). Lower-cost routes are preferred. The default is 1.

5Click Finish.
