Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to
reach a specific host or network. Enter the information described below to set up a
new static route.
Note

must belong to the subnet of any of the router’s inter
faces.
Destination IP Address
—
The Destination IP Address is the IP address of the remote
network or host to which you want to assign a static route.
Subnet Mask
—
The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination IP
Address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Gateway
—
This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact
between the Gateway and the remote network or host.
Metric
—
This is the number of hops to each node until the destination is reached (16
hops maximum). Enter the appropriate Metric. The default is
