Table 22-1 Static Routing

LABEL DESCRIPTION

Active

This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.

Name

Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.

Destination IP
Address

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final 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.

IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination.

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.
