•Modify: Modify the parameters for a configured static route.

Figure 7-3 Configuration System IP Routing Static Routes Add Screen

Network Address

Enter the destination network IP address that this static route applies to. Packets with this destination address will be sent to the Destination below. Used dotted decimal notation; for example, 192.168.12.0.

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask for the destination network IP address, using dotted decimal notation (for example, 255.255.255.0). The subnet mask indicates which part of the IP address represents the network and which part represents hosts. The router subsystem looks at only the network part.

The Manager automatically supplies a standard subnet mask appropriate for the IP address you just entered. For example, the IP address 192.168.12.0 is a Class C address, and the standard subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can accept this entry or change it. Note that 0.0.0.0 is not allowed here, since that would resolve to the equivalent of a default gateway.

Metric

Enter the metric, or cost, for this route. Use a number from 1 to 16, where 1 is the lowest cost. The routing subsystem always tries to use the least costly route. For example, if a route uses a low-speed line, you might assign a high metric so the system will use it only if all high-speed routes are unavailable.
