IP Static Route
A static route is a permanent entry in the routing table. Static routing provides a means of explicitly defining the next hop router for a particular destination network IP address. Each static route entry also allows for a metric (a.k.a. hop count) to be specified.
The parameters are described below:
??IP Address – this specifies the destination network IP address (or a host, depending on the netmask) and pairs it with a gateway.
??Netmask – this mask shows how the destination IP address is to be divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has ones in the bit positions in the
??Gateway – this is the adjacent next hop router, for which the packets, arriving to this router with this destination IP address, will be forwarded.
