Adding a Static Route

In order to create a route, a valid routing interface must exist and the next hop IP Address must be on the
same network as the routing interface. To create a route, use the Routing IP Interface Configuration page (refer
to "Routing IP Interface Configuration" on page 195). To see valid next hop IP addresses, use the Route
Table page (refer to "Route Table" on page 200).
Follow these steps to add a static route from the Configured Routes page:
1. Click Add.
The Add Route dialog box appears.

Configured Route Summary
Configured Route Summary Fields
Description
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 portion 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 outgoing interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination. For a static reject route, the
next hop is Null.
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.
