Static Route

Static routes are special routes that the network administrator manually enters into the router

configuration for local network management. You could build an entire network based on static routes.

The problem with doing this is that when a network failure occurs, the static route will not change

without you performing the change. This could be IP-PBX if the failure occurs when the administrator is

not available.

The route table allows the user to configure and define all the static routes supported by the router.

Enable/Disable the static route.

Type

Indicates the type of route as follows, Host for local connection and

Net for network connection.

Target

Defines the base IP address (Network Number) that will be

compared with the destination IP address (after an AND with

NetMask) to see if this is the target route.

NetMask

The subnet mask that will be AND'd with the destination IP address

and then compared with the Target to see if this is the target route.

Gateway

The IP address of the next hop router that will be used to route

traffic for this route. If this route is local (defines the locally

connected hosts and Type = Host) then this IP address MUST be

the IP address of the router.

Action

Insert a new Static Router entry or update a specified entry.
