- Network Mask—IP mask for this address.
- Prefix Length—Length of the IPv4 prefix.
Click Apply. The IPv4 address settings are written to the Running Configuration file.
When the system is in one of the stacking modes with a Backup Master present, Cisco
recommends configuring the IP address as a static address to prevent disconnecting from the
network during a Stacking Master switchover. This is because when the backup master takes
control of the stack, when using DHCP, it might receive a different IP address than the one that
was received by the stack's original master-enabled unit.
IPv4 Static Routes
This page enables configuring and viewing IPv4 static routes on the device. When routing
traffic, the next hop is decided on according to the longest prefix match (LPM algorithm). A
destination IPv4 address may match multiple routes in the IPv4 Static Route Table. The device
uses the matched route with the highest subnet mask, that is, the longest prefix match. If more
than one default gateway is defined with the same metric value, the lowest IPv4 address from
among all the configured default gateways is used.
To define an IP static route:
Click IP Configuration > IPv4 Management and Interfaces > IPv4 Static Routes.
The IPv4 Static Routes Table is displayed. The following fields are displayed for each entry:
• Destination IP Prefix—Destination IP address prefix.
• Prefix Length— IP route prefix for the destination IP.
• Route Type—Whether the route is a reject or remote route.
• Next Hop Router IP Address—The next hop IP address or IP alias on the route.
• Metric—Cost of this hop (a lower value is preferred).
• Outgoing Interface—Outgoing interface for this route.
• Tracking Object ID—(Only supported on the 550 family) IP SLAs Track Object ID
that is associated with this entry. This field and the next one only appears when SLA
exists.
