CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Static Route
Static Routes: Static routing is a special type of routing that can be
applied in a network to reduce the problem of routing selection
and overload of data flow and improve the forwarding speed of
packets. You can set the destination IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway to specify a routing rule. The destination IP address and
subnet mask are used to determine a destination network or host.
Then, the router sends packets to the specified destination
network or host through the gateway.
• Active: Enable it to apply the routing rule.
• Router Name: Enter the name of the static route.
• IP Subnet Mask: Subnet mask of the destination IP address.
• Gateway IP Address: IP address of the router or host to which
packets are sent.
• Metric: This represents the number of other routers on your
network. It ranges from 2 to 15. Usually, the value of 2 or 3
leads to the best performance. If the route is direction
connection, set the Metric to 2.
