LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
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.
Metric The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks.
Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise,
but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the switch or click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
