Configuring Static IP Routes
The Static Routes table lets you configure up to 30 static IP routing rules. Static routes let you
communicate with LAN networks that are not located behind the Default Gateway that is specified
for an IP network interface in the IP Interfaces table, from which the packets are sent. Before
sending an IP packet, the device searches the Static Routes table for an entry that matches the
requested destination host/network. If an entry is found, the device sends the packet to the
gateway that is configured for the static route. If no explicit entry is found, the packet is sent to the
Default Gateway as configured for the IP interface in the IP Interfaces table.
You can view the status of configured static routes in the IP Routing Status table. This table can be
accessed by clicking the Static Routes Status Table link located at the bottom of the Static
Routes table (see Viewing Static Routes Status).
The following procedure describes how to configure static routes through the Web interface. You
can also configure it through ini file [StaticRouteTable] or CLI ( configure network >
static).
➢ To configure static IP routes:
1. Open the Static Routes table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Core Entities folder > Static
Routes).
2. Click New; the following dialog box appears:
3. Configure a static route according to the parameters described in the table below. The address
of the host/network you want to reach is determined by an AND operation that is applied to the
fields 'Destination' and 'Prefix Length'. For example, to reach network 10.8.x.x, enter
"10.8.0.0" in the 'Destination' field and "16" in the 'Prefix Length'. As a result of the AND
operation, the value of the last two octets in the 'Destination' field are ignored. To reach a
specific host, enter its IP address in the 'Destination' field and "32" in the 'Prefix Length' field.
4. Click Apply, and then save your settings to flash memory.
You can only delete static routing rules that are inactive.
