5. Enter the route’s IP address and network mask in the appropriate text boxes.
6. In the Gateway IP Address box, enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway
associated with the route.
7. In the Next Hop Interface box, enter the IP address of the next-hop interface
associated with the route.
8. Leave the preference value set to its default (60) unless you want to assign a different
preference for the static routes. To set the preference, enter a number from 0 to 255 in
the Route Preference box.
As discussed in “What Is Preference?” on page 126 , you can set preferences in several
places. The SSR uses preference values to determine the preference of routes from one
protocol or peer over another.
Note:
Do not change the default preference for static routes unless you fully
understand the implications of doing so.
9. Specify whether you want to install the route in the forwarding table by selecting Yes
or No for the Install Route in Forwarding Table option.
The SSR will export the static routes to other protocols even if it is not installing the
route in the forwarding table.
10. Specify whether the route will be removed from the forwarding table during graceful
shutdowns by selecting Yes or No for the Retain Route on SSR shutdown option.
