Configuring Static Routes
You can enter static routes in the routing table using the IP > Routing > Static
Routes (Add) page. Static routes may be required to force the use of a specific route
to a subnet. Static routes do not automatically change in response to changes in
network topology, so you should only configure a small number of stable routes to
ensure network accessibility.
Command Usage
Up to 32 static routes can be configured.
If more than one static routes have the same lowest cost, the first route stored
in the routing table will be used.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
Destination IP Address IP address of the destination network, subnetwork,
or host.
Net Mask – Network mask for the associated IP subnet. This mask identifies the
host address bits used for routing to specific subnets.
Next Hop – IP address of the next router hop used for this route.
Distance – An administrative distance indicating that this route can be
overridden by other routing information. (Range: 1-255, Default: 1)
Web Interface
To configure static routes:
1. Click IP, Routing, Static Routes.
2. Select Add from the Action List.
3. Enter the destination address, subnet mask, and next hop router.
4. Click Apply.
