Routing Table; Ipv4 Static/Default Route Settings - D-Link Xstack DGS-3600 Series User Manual

Routing Table

The Switch supports static routing for IPv4 and IPv6 formatted addressing. Users can create up to 256 static route entries for IPv4
and IPv6 combined. Only manually configured static routes can route IP packets.
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.
The Switch also supports a floating static route, which means that the user may create an alternative static route to a different next
hop device located in the same network. 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.

IPv4 Static/Default Route Settings

Entries into the Switch's forwarding table can be made using both MAC addresses and IP addresses. Static IP forwarding is
accomplished by the entry of an IP address into the Switch's Static IP Routing Table. To view the following window, click L3
Features > Static/Default Route Settings > IPv4 Static/Default Route Settings.
This window shows the following values:
Parameter Description
IP Address
The IP address of the Static/Default Route.
Subnet Mask
The corresponding Subnet Mask of the IP address entered into the table.
Gateway The corresponding Gateway of the IP address entered into the table.
Metric Represents the metric value of the IP interface entered into the table. This field may read a
number between 1 and 65535.
Protocol Represents the protocol used for the Routing Table entry of the IP interface.
Backup State Represents the Backup state that this IP interface is configured for. This field may read Primary,
Backup or Weight.
Weight This field is used to add a weight to the IP route. The rate will determine the ratio for forwarding
data packets to a destination. 1= high 4=low.
Status This field denotes the current active state of this IP Interface.
