Configure Routes and View Routes
You can configure static and default routes and view the routes that the switch learned.
 To configure a static or default route:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The default password is password. If you added the switch to a network on the Insight
app before and you did not yet change the password through the local browser interface,
enter your Insight network password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Routing > Routing Table > Route Configuration.
The Configure Routes page displays. The page also shows the Route Status section.
6. From the Route Type menu, select one of the following types of routes:
• Static. For a static route, you must specify all fields.
• DefaultRoute. For a default route, you cannot specify the Network Address and
Subnet Mask fields.
7. For a static route only, in the Network Address field, specify the IP route prefix for the
destination.
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.
8. For a static route only, in the Subnet Mask field, specify the subnet mask.
Also referred to as the network mask, the mask indicates the portion of the IP address
that identifies the attached network.
9. In the Next Hop IP Address field, specify the next hop IP address.
This is 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
creating a route, the next hop IP must be on the same network as the routing interface.
Valid next hop IP addresses are listed in the Route Status table.
