Item:
Text Field. The number of a configured static route or
0
(to
enter a new route). Static routes are sorted by IP address and
assigned numbers according to their positions in the sorted list.
Entering the number of a configured static route causes that
route to be displayed.
Destination Host:
Text Field. The IP address of a network, host,
or gateway, or a [Space] character, or the keyword default.
Specify the address in decimal notation, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. If a
host name has been defined in the IP Host Table screen, you can
use that name rather than the IP address.
The IP address can be an address that is configured in a static
route, or an address for a new route. If the address is already
configured, entering it causes its parameters to be displayed on
the line you can edit. If it is not configured, the remaining fields in
the line are blank.
A [Space] character deletes the route displayed. Item numbers are
adjusted accordingly.
default
is equivalent to the address
0.0.0.0
, which is the
destination for the default gateway. In other words, the gateway
you specify for this destination is the one that will be used for any
route not defined in the routing table.
