specified.

Subnet Mask indicates the portion of the IP interface address that identifies the attached
3.
network. This is also referred to as the subnet/network mask.
Next Hop IP Address displays the outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic
4.
to the next router (if any) in the path towards the destination. The next router will always be
one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of the local interface for a directly attached
network.
Preference displays an integer value from (1 to 255). The user can specify the preference
5.
value (sometimes called "administrative distance") of an individual static route. Among
routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the route
entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a static route, the user
controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than routes from dynamic routing
protocols. The preference also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than
other static routes to the same destination.
Use Identifier to specify the description of this route that identifies the route.
