Table 79 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 |
Mask | 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. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your |
Address | Switch 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 |
| 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 |

| deactivated. |
