LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Name | Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only. |
|
|
Active | This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. |
|
|
Destination IP | This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always |
Address | based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet |
| mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be |
| identical to the host ID. |
|
|
IP Subnet Mask | Enter the subnet mask for this destination. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your switch |
Address | that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the same |
| segment as your switch. |
|
|
Metric | The 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 be precise, |
| but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number. |
