4.2.2.1 Adding a New Static Route
Use the Add screen to add a new destination subnet, subnet mask, and gateway for routing packets to a
defined destination. Use the screen when an existing destination subnet does not meet the needs of the
network.
To add a new static route:
1. Click the Add button.
A new Configuration screen displays enabling you to add a new destination subnet, subnet mask, and
gateway for routing packets to a defined destination.
2. In the Destination Subnet field, enter an IP address to route packets to a specific destination address.
3. Enter a subnet mask for the destination subnet in the Subnet Mask field.
The Subnet Mask is the IP mask used to divide internet addresses into blocks known as subnets. A value
of 255.255.255.0 support 256 IP addresses.
4. In the Gateway Address field, enter the IP address of the gateway used to route the packets to the
specified destination subnet. Do not set the gateway address to any VLAN interface used by the switch.
5. Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error
messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.
6. Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
Protocol Displays the name of the routing protocol with which this route was obtained.
Possible values are:
• Static — Routes are statically added by the operator.
• DHCP — Routes obtained from the DHCP server.
• Connected — Routes automatically installed by the switch for directly
connected networks based on interface IP addresses.
• Kernel/ ICMP — Routes added as a result of receiving an ICMP redirect from
an intermediate router.
Active When IP Forwarding is enabled for the selected subnet, a green check displays in
the
Active column. A red X defines the subnet as disabled.
