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