Chapter 5: Routing Tab EdgeRouter ™ Lite User Guide
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
All/Static/Connected/RIP/OSPF Click the appropriate tab
to filter the routes as needed.
• All All routes are displayed by default.
• Static All static routes that you have configured are
displayed.
• Connected All routes that are directly connected to the
EdgeRouter are displayed.
• RIP All RIP (Routing Information Protocol) routes are
displayed. RIP is an interior, distance vector routing
protocol that uses hop count as a metric to determine
the best route.
• OSPF All OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) routes are
displayed. OSPF is an interior, link-state routing protocol
that uses cost as a metric to determine the best route.
The bandwidth of an interface determines the cost – the
higher the bandwidth, the lower the cost.
A table displays the following information about each
route. Click a column heading to sort by that heading.
Selected The status of the route, whether it has been
selected for the routing table, is displayed.
Destination The destination IP address is displayed.
Next Hop The IP address of the next-hop interface is
displayed.
Interface The name of the interface is displayed.
Route Type The type of route is displayed.
In FIB The forwarding status of the route, whether it is in
the FIB (Forwarding Information Base), is displayed.
Actions Click the Actions button to access the following
options:
• Config To configure the route, click Config . Go to the
Configure the Static Route section below.
• Delete Delete the route; its configuration will be
removed.
• Disable Disable the route while keeping its
configuration. (This option is not available for black hole
routes.)
Configure the Static Route
After you click Config , the Static Route Configuration screen
appears.
Follow the instructions for your route type:
Gateway
• Route type The gateway route uses the IP address and
subnet mask of the next hop gateway.
• Destination network The IP address and subnet mask
are displayed in slash notation.
• Next hop address The IP address of the next hop
gateway is displayed.
• Distance (1-255) Enter the administrative distance. If
there are identical routes from different sources (such
as static, RIP, and OSPF), the EdgeRouter compares the
routes and uses the route with the lowest distance.
• Enable Check the box to enable the route.
Click Save to apply your changes.
Interface
• Route type The interface route uses the next hop
interface.
• Destination network The IP address and subnet mask
are displayed in slash notation.
• Next hop interface The name of the next hop interface
is displayed.
• Distance (1-255) Enter the administrative distance. If
there are identical routes from different sources (such
as static, RIP, and OSPF), the EdgeRouter compares the
routes and uses the route with the lowest distance.
• Enable Check the box to enable the route.
