35.2 Configuring Static Routing

Click IP Application > Static Routing in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown. Figure 156 IP Application > Static Routing

The following table describes the related labels you use to create a static route.

Table 113 IP Application > Static Routing

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Active	This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Name	Enter a descriptive name (up to 10 printable ASCII characters) for identification purposes.
Destination IP	This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Address
IP Subnet	Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Routing is always based on network number. If
Mask	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.
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.
Add	Click Add to insert a new static route to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
	these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation
	panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel	Click Cancel to reset the above fields to your previous configuration.
Clear	Click Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
Index	This field displays the index number of the route. Click a number to edit the static route
	entry.
Active	This field displays Yes when the static route is activated and No when it is deactivated.
Name	This field displays the descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.
Destination	This field displays the IP network address of the final destination.
Address
