6. Click Enable (to allow) or Disable (to deny) routing between VLANs.
4.2.2.1 Adding a New Static Route
Use the Add screen to add a new destination subnet, subnet mask and gateway for routing packets to a
defined destination. Use the screen when an existing destination subnet does not meet the needs of the
network.
To add a new static route:
1. Click the Add button.
A new Configuration screen displays enabling you to add a new destination subnet, subnet mask and
gateway for routing packets to a defined destination.
Destination Subnet Displays the mask used for destination subnet entries. The Subnet Mask is the IP
mask used to divide internet addresses into blocks (known as subnets). A value of
255.255.255.0 will support 256 IP addresses.
Subnet Mask Displays the mask used for destination subnet entries. The Subnet Mask is the IP
mask used to divide internet addresses into blocks (known as subnets). A value of
255.255.255.0 will support 256 IP addresses.
Gateway Address Displays the IP address of the Gateway used to route the packets to the specified
destination subnet. Do not set the gateway address to any VLAN interface used
by the switch.
Interface Displays the interface name with which the destination subnet entries are
attached.
Protocol Displays the name of the routing protocol with which this route was obtained.
Possible values are:
• Static — Routes are statically added by the operator.
• DHCP — Routes obtained from the DHCP server.
• Connected — Routes automatically installed by the switch for directly
connected networks based on interface IP addresses.
• Kernel/ ICMP — Routes added as a result of receiving an ICMP redirect from
an intermediate router.
Active When IP Forwarding is enabled for the selected subnet, a green check displays in
the Active column. A red X defines the subnet as disabled.
