5. Select Routing> Routing Table > Route Configuration.
6. From the Route Type menu, select one of the following route types.
• Default. Creates a default route. You must specify the next hop address and
preference.
• Static. Creates a static route. You must specify the network address, subnet mask,
next hop address, and preference.
• Static Reject. Create a static reject route. You must specify the network address,
subnet mask, and preference.
Depending on the type of route that you are creating, specify the following information:
a. In the Network Address field, specify the portion of the IP interface address that
identifies the attached network.
This is also referred to as the subnet/network mask.
b. In the Next Hop IP Address field, specify the outgoing router IP address to use
when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in the path toward the destination.
The next router is always one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of the local
interface for a directly attached network.
c. In the Preference field, specify the preference, which is an integer value from 1 to
255.
You can specify the preference value (sometimes called administrative distance) of
an individual static route. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the
lowest preference value is the route entered into the forwarding database. By
specifying the preference of a static route, you control whether a static route is more
or less preferred than routes from dynamic routing protocols. The preference also
controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the
same destination.
d. In the Description field, enter a description for the route.
The description must consist of alphanumeric, hyphen, or underscore characters and
can be up to 31 characters in length.
7. Click the Add button.
The static route is added to the switch.
