Static Route Configuration
Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN.
This is used to specify that all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a predetermined gateway.
The Existing Entry number tells you how many routes are currently configured. The Valid Entry number tells
you the number of routes that are enabled.
