3.6.4.2 Static Route

This page is used to configure the routing information. Here you can add / delete IP routes.

Click “Enable” to enable the Static Routing function, you can query the preset static routes, delete an existing static route, or add a new static route. By default, the system has no static route information.

Destination: The IP address where packets will go to.

Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address.

Next Hop: The gateway that the packets will pass by during transmission.

Metric: Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP Routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not to be precise, but it must between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Interface: The interface that the packets pass through on the device.

Click “Add Route” to add this routing information.
