Static Route tab

The Static Route table is an enhanced feature in Device Manager. Use the IP - Static Route tab to insert, delete, and display static routes. The static route table is indexed by the destination network, destination mask, and next hop attributes. The maximum number of entries for the table is 500.

Static routes provide a way to create routes to destination IP address prefixes manually.

To create a static IP route:

  1. Choose Routing > IP > Static Route.
  2. The IP Routing IP dialog box opens, and the Static Route tab is displayed.

Field Description
Dest
The destination IP network of this route. An entry with a value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple entries is dependent on the table access mechanisms defined by the network management protocol in use.
Mask
Indicates the network mask to be logically banded with the destination address before being compared to the value in the ipRouteDest field.
NextHop
The IP address of the next hop of this route.
Metric
The metric associated with this interface. The default is 1.
IfIndex
The VLAN interface index.
Preference
The preference is set between 1 and 16.
Enable
Sets whether the configured static route is available on the port. The default is true.
Note: If a static route is disabled, it must be enabled before it can be added to the system routing table.
Status
The static route status indicates whether the next hop of a configured route is reachable at the moment. When an interface is assigned an IP address and the static route table is enabled, status is shown as active.
