To set a static route on the Summit WM Controller:
1 From the main menu, click Summit Switch Configuration . The Summit WM Controller
Configuration screen is displayed.
2 In the left pane, click Routing Protocols . The Static Routes tab is displayed.
3 To add a new route, in the Destination Address box type the destination IP address of a packet. To
define a default static route for any unknown address not in the routing table, type 0.0.0.0 .
4 In the Subnet Mask box, type the appropriate subnet mask to separate the network portion from the
host portion of the IP address (typically 255.255.255.0). To define the default static route for any
unknown address, type 0.0.0.0.
5 In the Gateway box, type the IP address of the specific router port or gateway on the same subnet as
the Summit WM Controller to which to forward these packets. This is the IP address of the next hop
between the Summit WM Controller and the packet’s ultimate destination.
6 Click Add . The new route is added to the list of routes.
7 Select the Override dynamic routes checkbox to give priority over the OSPF learned routes,
including the default route, which the Summit WM Controller uses for routing. This option is
selected by default.
To remove this priority for static routes, so that routing is controlled dynamically at all times, clear
the
Override dynamic routes checkbox.
NOTE
If you enable dynamic routing (OSPF), the dynamic routes will normally have priority for outgoing routing. For
internal routing on the Summit WM Controller, the static routes normally have priority.
8 To save your changes, click Save .
