Note:
When you add a network interface, a default route (via the default gateway) is automatically
created for the interface after network settings are applied and the DXi reboots. For example, if you add
an interface with IP address 10.20.185.172, a route with the destination IP address 10.20.185.0 is
automatically added. If you delete the default route, it is automatically added again the next time
network settings are applied and the DXi reboots. For more information about interface routing, see
Configuring Interface Routing
Some network configurations require that you specify routing details for an interface. You need to specify
routing details if the host or client the interface connects to is on a different subnet that is not reachable using
the default gateway. You also need to specify routing details if you have configured multiple network
segments (replication, data, or management) on the same subnet. For more information and examples, see
Under
IP Address Configuration > Routing Details
, enter routing information for one or more interfaces

Destination
The destination network for the route.

The network mask for the route.
Dest Gateway
The gateway IP address used for
outgoing
traffic sent from the interface to a host or
client. (This is usually not the same as the default gateway.)
