4.5.3.3 Summary
Use the IP Route Summary page to view the statistics of static routes.
Description
The type of route to configure, which is one of the following:

Default: The route the device uses to send a packet if the routing
table does not contain a longer matching prefix for the packet's
destination. The routing table can contain only one default route.

Static: A route that is manually added to the routing table by an
administrator.

Static Reject: A route where packets that match the route are dis-
carded instead of forwarded. The device might send an ICMP
Destination Unreachable message.
The IP route prefix for the destination network. This IP address must
contain only the network portion of the address and not the host bits.
When adding a default route, this field is not available.
The IP subnet mask (also known as the network mask or netmask)
associated with the network address. The subnet mask defines which
portion of an IP address belongs to the network prefix, and which por-
tion belongs to the host identifier. When adding a default route, this
field is not available.
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 adding a static reject
route, this field is not available because the packets are dropped rather
than forwarded.
The preference of the route. A lower preference value indicates a more
preferred route. When the routing table has more than one route to the
same network, the device selects the route with the best (lowest) route
preference.
