Setting Static Routes
• Gateway—The address of a locally attached router where packets are sent for
forwarding to the destination.
• Metric—The number of routers (or hops) a packet must cross to reach its
destination. The metric represents the cost of sending the packet through the
gateway to the specified destination.
Note – Never set the gateway for the PortMaster to an address on the same PortMaster;
the gateway must be on another router.
Use the following commands to add a static route for IP:
Command> add route Ipaddress[/NM] Ipaddress(gw) Metric
Command> save all
Use the following commands to delete a static route for IP:
Command> delete route Ipaddress[/NM] Ipaddress(gw)
Command> save all
You can delete only static routes.
Adding and Deleting a Static Route for IPX
A static route for IPX contains the following items:
• Destination—The number of the IPX network to which the PortMaster will be
routing.
• Gateway—The address of a locally attached router where packets are sent for
forwarding to the destination.
For IPX networks, the gateway address consists of 8 hexadecimal digits for the
network address, a colon (:) and the node address of the gateway router expressed
as 12 hexadecimal digits—for example, 00000002:A0B1C2D3E4F5.
The IPX node address is usually the media access control (MAC) address on a
PortMaster.
• Metric—The number of routers (or hops) a packet must cross to reach its
destination. The metric represents the cost of sending the packet through the
gateway to the specified destination.
