DESCRIPTION
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) for identification
purposes.
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Enter the subnet mask for this 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 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 Add to insert a new static route to the Switch's run-time memory. The Switch
loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top
navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
Click Cancel to reset the above fields to your previous configuration.
Click Clear to set the above fields back to the factory defaults.
This field displays the index number of the route. Click a number to edit the static
route entry.
This field displays Yes when the static route is activated and NO when it is
deactivated.
This field displays the descriptive name for this route. This is for identification
purposes only.
This field displays the IP network address of the final destination.
This field displays the subnet mask for this destination.
