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.
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 to which 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 that are 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.
