Static Route
21.1 Static Routing Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes.
The Switch uses IP for communication with management computers, for example using
HTTP, telnet, SSH, or SNMP. Use IP static routes to have the Switch respond to remote
management stations that are not reachable through the default gateway. The Switch can also
use static routes to send data to a server or device that is not reachable through the default
gateway, for example when sending SNMP traps or using ping to test IP connectivity.
This figure shows a Telnet session coming in from network N1. The Switch sends reply traffic
to default gateway R1 which routes it back to the manager’s computer. The Switch needs a
static route to tell it to use router R2 to send traffic to an SNMP trap server on network N2.
