Routing
Routing setup allows a manual method that is used to set up routing between
networks. The network administrator configures static routes in a router by entering
routes directly into the routing table of a router. Static routing has the advantage of
being predictable and easy configuration.
Static Route
This screen is used to manually configure static routes to other IP networks,
subnetworks, or hosts. Click "Network Settings" followed by “static Route."
(Maximum 32 entries are allowed.)
Figure 5-25. Static Route (Router mode)
• Enable – Enables the configured route. (Default: Disabled)
• Target – A destination network or specific host to which packets can be routed.
• Netmask – The subnetwork associated with the destination. This is a template that
identifies the address bits in the destination address used for routing to specific
subnets. Each bit that corresponds to a “1” is part of the network/subnet number;
each bit that corresponds to “0” is part of the host number.
• Gateway – The IP address of the router at the next hop to which matching frames
are forwarded.
• Action – Specifies an action to take on a static route.
- Change: By selecting a configured route from the routing table its parameters
display in an editable form. Click “Change” to save parameters once you have
updated them.
- Add: Adds a newly configured route to the list.
- Edit: Click "Edit" to highlight an entry in the static MAC list for changing its
parameters.
- Delete: Deletes a static route from the list.
