Static Routing

Sometimes you will prefer to use static routes to build your routing table instead of using dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange routing information with a peer router. You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.

To set up static routing, you should add route entries in the routing table that tell the Router where to forward packets to specific IP destinations.

Enter the following data to create a static route entry:

1.Select Set Number. Select the set number (routing table entry number) that you wish to view or configure. If necessary, click Delete This Entry to clear the entry.

2.Destination IP Prefix. Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP; the last field should be zero.

3.Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

4.Next Hop Router. Enter the next hop router used to reach your destination LAN, as defined in Step (2).

5.Hop Count (max. 15). This value gives the number of routers that a data packet passes through before reaching its destination. It is used to define the priority on which route to use if there is a conflict between a static route and dynamic route.

Show Routing Table button. Click this button to show the routing table established either through dynamic or static routing methods.

Click the Save Settings button to save the Routing settings, click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes or click the Show Routing Table button to view the current routing table.
