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.

Add

Click Add to insert a new static route to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch

loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top

navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are

done configuring.

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
