•
Life Time
—Time period during which the packet can be sent, and resent,
before being deleted.
•
Route Type
—How the destination is attached, and the method used to
obtain the entry. The following values are:
-
Local
—A directly-connected network whose prefix is derived from a
manually-configured switch’s IPv6 address.
-
Dynamic
—The destination is an indirectly-attached (remote) IPv6 subnet
address. The entry was obtained dynamically via the ND or ICMP
protocol.
-
Static
—The entry was manually configured by a user.

Defining IPv4 Routes
When the switch is in Layer 3 mode, this page enables configuring and viewing
IPv4 static routes on the switch. When routing traffic, the next hop is decided on
according to the longest prefix match (LPM algorithm). A destination IPv4 address
may match multiple routes in the IPv4 Static Route Table. The switch uses the
matched route with the highest subnet mask, that is, the longest prefix match.
To define an IP static route:
STEP 1
Click
IP Configuration
>
IPv4 Routes
.
The
IPv4 Static Routes
page opens.
STEP 2
Click
Add.
The
Add IP Static Route
page opens.
STEP 3
Enter values for the following fields:
•
Destination IP Prefix
—Enter the destination IP address prefix.
•
Mask
—Select and enter information for one of the following:
-
Network Mask
—The IP route prefix for the destination IP.
-
Prefix Length
—The IP route prefix for the destination IP.
