3.5.3 Static Routing

Advanced > Routing > Static Routing
Advanced > IPv6 > IPv6 Static Routing
Manually adding static routes to this device allows you to define the path selection of traffic from
one interface to another. There is no communication between this router and other devices to
account for changes in the path; once configured the static route will be active and effective until
the network changes.
The List of Static Routes displays all routes that have been added manually by an administrator and
allows several operations on the static routes. The List of IPv4 Static Routes and List of IPv6 Static
Routes share the same fields (with one exception):

Name: Name of the route, for identification and management.

Active: Determines whether the route is active or inactive. A route can be added to the table
and made inactive, if not needed. This allows routes to be used as needed without deleting
and re-adding the entry. An inactive route is not broadcast if RIP is enabled.

Private: Determines whether the route can be shared with other routers when RIP is enabled.
If the route is made private, then the route will not be shared in a RIP broadcast or multicast.
This is only applicable for IPv4 static routes.

Destination: the route will lead to this destination host or IP address.

IP Subnet Mask: This is valid for IPv4 networks only, and identifies the subnet that is
affected by this static route

Interface: The physical network interface (WAN1, WAN2, WAN3, DMZ or LAN), through
which this route is accessible.

Gateway: IP address of the gateway through which the destination host or network can be
reached.

Metric: Determines the priority of the route. If multiple routes to the same destination exist,
the route with the lowest metric is chosen.
