Table 7-2 Static Route Edit
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name Enter the name of the static route.
Active Select the check box to turn this static route on when you apply it.
Destination IP
Address This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always
based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be
identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP
Address Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your line
card that will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the
same segment as your line card.
Metric The metric represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop
count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 0 for directly connected networks.
Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise,
but it must be between 0 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
