Configuring Subnet Destination Routes
Subnet destination routes (also commonly called "static routes") are commonly used to specify
routes to destination IP addresses via gateways other than the subnet’s default route (also called
a
default gateway ). They are called destination routes, since they are used to make routing
decisions based on a packet’s destination IP address.
default route can be specified for every subnet (previous releases supported a single global
default route). If you need to access systems on another subnet that cannot be reached via this
gateway, then you need to specify a static route to those systems through the gateway for that
subnet.
subnet also has its own subnet-specific static route table. Subnet static routes can be specified via
the CLI or the GUI.
Also refer to
"Source Based Routing Scenarios"
on page 119 for a description of source-based routing
scenarios.
