Route Type

This field can be either default or static. If creating a 
default route, all that needs to be specified is the next 
hop IP address, otherwise each field needs to be 
specified.

Network Address

The IP route prefix for the destination.

Subnet Mask

Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this 
indicates the portion of the IP interface address that 
identifies the attached network.

Protocol

This field tells which protocol created the specified 
route. The possibilities are one of the following:

Local

Static

OSPF

RIP

Next Hop IP Address

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 will always 
be one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of 
the local interface for a directly attached network.

Next Hop Interface

The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding 
traffic to the destination.

Metric

Administrative cost of the path to the destination. If 
no value is entered, default is 1. The range is 0 - 255.

Preference

The preference is an integer value from (0 to 255). 
The user can specify the preference value 
(sometimes called “administrative distance”) of an 
individual static route. Among routes to the same 
destination, the route with the lowest preference 
value is the route entered into the forwarding 
database. By specifying the preference of a static 
route, the user controls whether a static route is 
more or less preferred than routes from dynamic 
routing protocols. The preference also controls 
whether a static route is more or less preferred than 
other static routes to the same destination.
