The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing > Routing Table > Route Configuration.
The Configure Routes page displays. The page also shows the Route Status section.
6. From the Route Type menu, select one of the following types of routes:
• Static. For a static route, you must specify all fields.
• DefaultRoute. For a default route, you cannot specify the Network Address and
Subnet Mask fields.
7. For a static route only, in the Network Address field, specify the IP route prefix for the
destination.
To create a route, a valid routing interface must exist, and the next hop IP Address must
be on the same network as the routing interface.
8. For a static route only, in the Subnet Mask field, specify the subnet mask.
Also referred to as the network mask, the mask indicates the portion of the IP address
that identifies the attached network.
9. In the Next Hop IP Address field, specify the next hop IP address.
This is the outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if
any) in the path towards the destination. The next router is always one of the adjacent
neighbors or the IP address of the local interface for a directly attached network. When
creating a route, the next hop IP must be on the same network as the routing interface.
Valid next hop IP addresses are listed in the Route Status table.
10. In the Preference field, specify the preference value for the route.
Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the
route entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a static route,
you can control whether a static route is more preferred or less preferred. The preference
also controls whether a static route is more preferred or less preferred than other static
routes to the same destination.
11. As an option, in the Description field, specify a description to help identify the route.
12. Click the Add button.
The route is added.
