Configuring Static Routing
You can configure static routes to direct packets to the destination network. A
static route is a pre-determined pathway that a packet must travel to reach a
specific host or network.
Some ISPs require static routes to build your routing table instead of using
dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to
exchange routing information with a peer router.
You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic
routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes.
!
CAUTION
Be careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.
To configure static routing:
STEP 1
Choose
Networking
>
Routing
.
STEP 2
In the
Static Routing
area, choose a route entry from the
Route Entries
drop-
down menu.
To delete the route entry, click
Delete
This Entry
.
STEP 3
Configure the following settings for the selected route entry:
RIP Send Packet
Version
Select the RIP Send Packet Version (
RIPv1
or
RIPv2
).
The version of RIP used to send routing updates to
other routers on the network depends on the
configuration settings of the other routers.
It is best to check with your network administrator to
see which version of RIP is supported on your
network.
RIPv2 is backward compatible with RIPv1.
RIP Recv Packet
Version
Choose the RIP Receive Packet Version.
