Static/Default Route Settings

The Switch supports only static routing for IPv4 and IPv6 formatted addressing. Users can create up to 128 static route entries for
IPv4 and IPv6 combined. Manually configured static routes can route IP packets, and the local route also can route IP packets. For
each device that is a part of the DGS-3400 network, users may only configure one IP address as a static route.
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. If a
response is not received from the next hop device after three ARP requests have been sent, the configured static route will remain
in a link-down status.
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 other 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.
