Table 13-6: Static Routes Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
'Index'
[StaticRouteTable_
Index]
Defines an index number for the new table row.
The valid value is 0 to 29.
Note: Each row must be configured with a unique index.
'Description'
description
[StaticRouteTable_
Description]
Defines a name for the rule.
The valid value is a string of up to 20 characters.
'Destination'
destination
[StaticRouteTable_
Destination]
Defines the IP address of the destination host/network. The destination
can be a single host or a whole subnet, depending on the prefix length
configured for this routing rule.
'Prefix Length'
prefix-length
[StaticRouteTable_
PrefixLength]
Defines the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)-style
representation of a dotted-decimal subnet notation of the destination
host/network. The CIDR-style representation uses a suffix indicating
the number of bits that are set in the dotted-decimal format. For
example, the value 16 represents subnet 255.255.0.0
The valid value depends on the IP address version:
â– IPv4: 0 to 32
â– IPv6: 0 to 128
'Ethernet Output
Device'
device-name
[StaticRouteTable_
DeviceName]
Associates an IP network interface through which the static route's
Gateway is reached. The association is done by assigning the
parameter the same Ethernet Device that is assigned to the IP network
interface in the IP Interfaces table ('Ethernet Device' parameter). To
configure IP network interface, see Configuring IP Network Interfaces.
To configure Ethernet Devices, see Configuring Underlying Ethernet
Devices.
'Gateway'
gateway
[StaticRouteTable_
Gateway]
Defines the IP address of the Gateway (next hop) used for traffic
destined to the subnet/host defined in the 'Destination' / 'Prefix Length'
field.
Note:
â– The Gateway's address must be in the same subnet as the IP
address of the network interface that is associated with the static
route (using the 'Ethernet Output Device' parameter - see above).
â– The IP network interface associated with the static route must be of
the same IP address family (IPv4 or IPv6).
Configuration Example of Static IP Routes
An example of the use for static routes is shown in the figure below. In the example, the device
needs to communicate with a softswitch at IP address 10.1.1.10. However, the IP network
interface from which packets destined for 10.1.1.10 is sent, is configured to send the packets to a
Default Gateway at 10.15.0.1. Therefore, the packets do not reach the softswitch. To resolve this
problem, a static route is configured to specify the correct gateway (10.15.7.22) in order to reach
the softswitch.
