Configuring and Deleting Static IP Routes

Static IP routes define a fixed and manually configured path for data sent by the Campus-REX2 to a destination host. This table contains a maximum of 32 explicit routes. Each route comprises a destination network, subnet mask, and hop count.

You can add static routes by selecting either:

Add Static Route as described in this section

Static Route Table (see “Managing the Static Routing Table” on page 57) and using the (A)dd route command

When you enter a static IP address that is a specific host interface, you must enter 255.255.255.255 as the subnet mask to include that specific host interface in the static routing table.

You can also configure the default gateway in the static routing table by entering a destination IP address of 0.0.0.0 with a subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 and then entering the IP address for the default gateway.
