Table 6-4 Configuring static routes

 

 

Procedure

Steps

 

 

Adding a static route

1.Select the Destination IP field of an inactive route

 

2.Edit the IP address

 

3.Select the Len field

 

4.Enter the subnet mask value of the destination network. Value 0 to32.

 

The subnet mask is determined by the number of 1’s left justified in a 32-bit

 

submask field, with the rest of the field set to zeros. The subnet mask

 

describes how many bits in the destination IP network address are valid, and

 

are to be matched against incoming packet’s destination address.

 

5.Select the Next Hop IP field 2 or select the Interface field 3 to enter either the IP

 

address for routers on numbered interfaces or to enter the egress port.

 

Enter the IP address for routers on numbered interfaces (Ethernet).

 

This is the IP address of the router where incoming matching destination IP

 

packets are sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet as one of the

 

numbered ports.

 

Or

 

Set the egress port to either NET1, NET2, ENET-0, Bundle0. This identifies

 

the physical WAN or LAN port associated to the route.

 

6.Set the Metric field 4

 

The metric specifies the route cost. Enter a number between 1 and 255 to

 

define the hop count. Use this count to create preferential hops for prioritizing

 

routing entries.

 

If more than one route of equal cost is found for a particular destination, the

 

routing engine will distribute the packets equally among the available routes

 

using a round-robin algorithm. See “Setting the Metric parameter for Load

 

Balancing” below.

 

If multiple routes are found with unequal costs then the route with lesser cost

 

metric is chosen.

 

7.Set the Action field 5 to Add

 

If this new route is accepted by the routing engine the status field 6will change

 

from Inactive to Active.

 

If the route is not accepted, the action field 5 will change to Modify. You will

 

have to change one of the settings in the route and try to add it again.
