Static Route
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes.
37.1 Static Routing Overview
The Switch uses IP for communication with management computers, for example using HTTP,
Telnet, SSH, or SNMP. Use IP static routes to have the Switch respond to remote management
stations that are not reachable through the default gateway. The Switch can also use static routes
to send data to a server or device that is not reachable through the default gateway, for example
when sending SNMP traps or using ping to test IP connectivity.
This figure shows a
Telnet
session coming in from network
N1
. The Switch sends reply traffic to
default gateway
R1
which routes it back to the manager’s computer. The Switch needs a static
route to tell it to use router
R2
to send traffic to an SNMP trap server on network
N2
.
