reliable. Appropriate static routes help reduce the number of route selection problems and reduce
route selection load, increasing the packet forwarding speed.
4.11.2.2 Adding a static route
Step 1 Choose Advanced Setup > Routing > Static Route to enter the configuration page, and
click Add.
Step 2 IP Version: Select an IP protocol version for the static route, IPv4 or IPv6.
Step 3 Destination IP address/prefix length: Set an IP address of a specified host or a specified
network.
For example, if you want to set the Destination IP address/prefix length to a specified host,
assume that the IP address of the host is 1.2.3.4, you can set it to 1.2.3.4/32. If you want
to set the Destination IP address/prefix length to all hosts in a specified network, assume
that the network is 2.2.3.3/255.255.0.0, you can set it to 2.2.0.0/16 which represents all
hosts whose IP address start with 2.2.
Step 4 Interface: Select an interface for the outgoing data.
Step 5 Gateway IP Address: set the gateway IP address to the IP address of the next-hop router.
Step 6 (Optional: metric number should be greater than or equal to zero) Metric: Set a metric
value for the static route. A smaller number indicates a higher priority.
