Local Route Settings
This window is used to configure the IPv4 and IPv6 local route settings.
To view the following window, click L3 Features > Local Route Settings, as shown below:
Figure 5-1 Local Route Settings window
The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter Description
IPv4 Local Route
Click the radio buttons to enable or disable IPv4 local route. The function is enabled by
default.
IPv6 Local Route
Click the radio buttons to enable or disable IPv6 local route. The function is disabled by
default.
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made for each individual section.
NOTE: IPv4 and IPv6 static routes are mutually exclusive and cannot be created at the same time on
DES-3528/DES-3552 Series switches.
IPv4 Static/Default Route Settings
The Switch supports static routing for IPv4 and IPv6 formatted addressing. Users can create up to 16 static route
entries for IPv4 or 16 static route entries for IPv6. For IPv4 static routes, once a static route has been set, the
Switch will send an ARP request packet to the next hop router that has been set by the user. Once an ARP
response has been retrieved by the Switch from that next hop, the route becomes enabled. However, if the ARP
entry already exists, an ARP response will not be sent.
NOTE: IPv4 and IPv6 static routes are mutually exclusive and cannot be created at the same time on
DES-3528/DES-3552 Series switches.
The Switch also supports a floating static route, which means that the user may create an alternative static route to
a different next hop. This secondary next hop device route is considered as a backup static route for when the
primary static route is down. If the primary route is lost, the backup route will uplink and its status will become
Active.
