Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes.
14.1 Static Routing Overview
IP static routes are used by the Switch to ensure it can respond to management stations not
reachable via the default gateway and to proactively send traffic, for example when sending
SNMP traps or conducting IP connectivity tests using ping.
The Switch uses IP protocol for communication with management stations, for example via a
browser, telnet, SSH or SNMP. The Switch can communicate with the management stations on
the networks behind the default gateway. The figure below shows a
Telnet session in network
N1 behind the default gateway R1 . Static routes are used to tell the Switch how to
communicate with management stations not reachable via the default gateway. The figure
below shows an
SNMP manager behind router R2 in network N2 . A static route must be
configured to tell the Switch how to communicate with the SNMP manager in N2 .
