Static Route Configuration - Planet Networking & Communication WGS3-2620 User Manual

4.5.6.4 Static Route Configuration

This switch can be configured to dynamically learn the routes to other IP networks, subnets or hosts
using unicast or multicast routing protocols. If the route to a specific destination cannot be learned via
these protocols or you wish to restrict the path used for transmitting traffic to a destination, then it can be
statically configured using the Static Route Table.
Before defining a static route, remember that you must first configure at least one IP interface on this
switch. Static routes take precedence over dynamically learned routes, and remain in the table until you
remove them or the corresponding IP interface from this switch.
Parameter Description
Destination A destination network, subnet or host.
Network
Destination Mask The subnet mask that specifies the bits to match. A routing entry will be used for a
packet if the bits in the address set by the destination mask match the Destination
Network.
VLAN The VLAN within which the gateway or destination address resides.
Next Hop The IP address of the router at the next hop. Note that the network portion of the
next hop must match that used for one of the subnet IP interfaces configured on this
switch. (See "4.5.6.1 Subnet Configuration")
Type The IP route type for the destination network. This switch supports the following
types:
Direct - A directly connected subnetwork.
Indirect - A remote IP subnetwork or host address.
