Static Routing
This chapter shows you how to configure the static routing function.
Static routes tell the IES-612-51A how to forward the IES-612-51A’s own IP traffic when you 
configure the TCP/IP parameters manually. This is generally useful for allowing management 
of the device from a device with an IP address on a different subnet from that of the device’s 
IP address (remote management).

DESCRIPTION
Use this section to create a new static route.
Name
Type a name to identify this static route. Use up to 31 ASCII characters. Spaces 
and tabs are not allowed.
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 device that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be 
a router on the same segment as your device.
