Static Route

Click this link to go to the Static Route Setup page.

 

Setup

 

 

Entry Name

Enter a descriptive name for the static route (maximum 27 alphanumeric characters). This

 

 

is for identification purposes only.

 

 

 

 

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 IES-

 

Address

1000 that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the

 

 

same segment as your IES-1000.

 

 

 

 

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 0 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 0 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
