Chapter 19 Static Route

This chapter shows you how to configure static routes.

Static routes tell the switch how to forward IP traffic when you configure the TCP/IP 
parameters manually.

Click IP Application, Static Routing in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown. 

Figure 54   Static Routing 

The following table describes the labels in this screen.  

Table 36   Static Routing 

Active

This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.

Name

Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) for identification 

purposes. 

Destination IP 

Address

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is 

always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use 

a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network 

number to be identical to the host ID.

IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination.

Gateway IP 

Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your 

switch that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on 

the same segment as your switch.
