9.4.7 Static Routes
Static routing is a special type of routing that can be applied in a
network to reduce the problem of routing selection and data flow
overload caused by routing selection so as to improve the packets
forwarding speed. You can set the destination IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway to specify a routing rule. The destination IP address and
subnet mask determine a destination network or host to which the
router sends packets through the gateway.
Choose Network Application > Static Routes and the Static Routes page
is displayed.
Click Add to add a static routing rule.
Active:
The static routing rule can take effect only if the Active check
box is selected.
Route Name:
Enter the name of the static route.
Destination IP Address:
The destination address or network that you
want to access. This IP address cannot be in the same network segment as
the IP address of the WAN or LAN interface of ISY Wireless Range Extender.
IP Subnet Mask:
This IP subnet mask together with the destination IP
address identify the target network.
Gateway IP Address:
The IP address of the next node to which packets are
sent. The gateway IP address must be in the same network segment as the
IP address of the WAN or LAN interface of ISY Wireless Range Extender.
Metric:
The number of other routers in the user network. The value ranges
from 2 to 15. Usually, the value of 2 or 3 leads to the best performance. If
the route is direct connection, set Metric to 2. After finishing settings, click
Apply to save the settings.
