Link: IP Static Routes
A static route identifies a manually configured pathway to a remote network. Unlike
dynamic routes, which are acquired and confirmed periodically from other routers, static
routes do not time out. Consequently, static routes are useful when working with PPP,
since an intermittent PPP link may make maintenance of dynamic routes problematic.
When you click the
Static Routes
link, the IP Static Routes page appears.
You can configure as many as 32 static IP routes for the Gateway. To add a static route,
click the
Add
button.
The IP Static Route Entry page appears.
• Destination Network: Enter the IP address of the static route. It may not be 0.0.0.0.
• Netmask: Enter the subnet mask for the IP network at the other end of the static route.
The subnet mask associated with the destination network must represent the same
network class (A, B, or C) or a lower class (such as a class C subnet mask or class B
network number) to be valid.
