LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Active
This field allows you to activate or deactivate this static route.
Name
Enter a descriptive name (up to 10 printable ASCII characters except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ] or [ , ]) for
identification purposes.
Destination IP
Address
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
IP Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask for this 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.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your Switch that
will forward the packet to the destination. The gateway must be a router on the same segment
as your Switch.
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 1 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
1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Apply
Click
Apply
to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save
link on the top navigation panel to save
your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Clear
Click
Clear
to clear the fields to the factory defaults.
Cancel
Click

to not save the configuration you make and return to the last screen.
