Depending on the type of route that you are creating, specify the following information:
a.
In the
Network Address
field, specify the IP address for the destination.
b.
In the
Subnet Mask
field, specify the subnet mask for the attached network.
c.
In the
Next Hop IP Address
field, specify the outgoing router IP address to use
when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in the path toward the destination.
The next router is always one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of the local
interface for a directly attached network.
d.
In the
Preference
field, specify the preference (sometimes called
administrative
distance
), which is an integer value from 1 to 255.
You can specify the preference value (sometimes called administrative distance) of
an individual static route. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the
lowest preference value is the route entered into the forwarding database. By
specifying the preference of a static route, you control whether a static route is more
or less preferred than routes from dynamic routing protocols. The preference also
controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the
same destination.
