Figure 163 IP Application > Static Routing
The following table describes the related labels you use to create a static route.
Table 120 IP Application > Static Routing
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Name Enter a descriptive name (up to 10 printable ASCII characters) for identification purposes.
Destination IP This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Address
IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Routing is always based on network number. If
you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the
subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.
Gateway IP Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your Switch
Address that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the same
segment as your Switch.
Metric The metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks.
Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise,
but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Add Click Add to insert a new static route to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation
panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to reset the above fields to your previous configuration.
Clear Click Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
Index This field displays the index number of the route. Click a number to edit the static route
entry.
Active This field displays Yes when the static route is activated and No when it is deactivated.
Name This field displays the descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes
only.
Destination This field displays the IP network address of the final destination.
Address
Subnet Mask This field displays the subnet mask for this destination.
