Configuring Static Routes
You can enter static routes in the routing table using the IP > Routing > Static
Routes (Add) page. Static routes may be required to force the use of a specific route
to a subnet. Static routes do not automatically change in response to changes in
network topology, so you should only configure a small number of stable routes to
ensure network accessibility.
Command Usage
◆
Up to 512 static routes can be configured.
◆
If more than one static routes have the same lowest cost, the first route stored
in the routing table will be used.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Destination IP Address – IP address of the destination network, subnetwork,
or host.
◆
Net Mask – Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies the
host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
◆
Next Hop – IP address of the next router hop used for this route.
◆
Distance – An administrative distance indicating that this route can be
overridden by other routing information. (Range: 1-255, Default: 1)
