Static Routing

This chapter shows you how to configure the static routing function.

Static routes tell the IES-612-51A how to forward the IES-612-51A’s own IP traffic when you configure the TCP/IP parameters manually. This is generally useful for allowing management of the device from a device with an IP address on a different subnet from that of the device’s IP address (remote management).

DESCRIPTION

 

Use this section to create a new static route.

 

 

Name

Type a name to identify this static route. Use up to 31 ASCII characters. Spaces

 

and tabs are not allowed.

 

 

Destination IP

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing

Address

is always 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 Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of

 

your device that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be

 

a router on the same segment as your device.
