IP Static Route

A static route is a permanent entry in the routing table. Static routing
provides a means of explicitly defining the next hop router for a
particular destination network IP address. Each static route entry also
allows for a metric (a.k.a. hop count) to be specified.

The parameters are described below:

IP Address – This specifies the destination network IP address (or

a host, depending on the netmask) and pairs it with a gateway.

Netmask – This mask shows how the destination IP address is to

be divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has
ones in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used
for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.
