The following table describes the related labels you use to create a static route.
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 | This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. |
IP Address |
|
|
|
IP Subnet | Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Routing is always based on |
Mask | 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. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate |
Address | neighbor of your 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 |
| 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. |
