Chapter 14 Routing Configuration
DESCRIPTION
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose
only.
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final 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.
Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate
neighbor of your switch that will forward the packet to the destination. The
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your switch.
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.
Click OK to save the new rule to the switch. It then displays in the
Routing Configuration screen.
Click Cancel to close the screen.
