Static Routes
This Static Routes Table lists the static routes that have been added manually and includes the following fields:
Name: Name of the route, for identification and management purposes.
Destination: Destination host or network the route leads to.
Gateway: IP Address of the gateway through which the destination host or network can be reached.
Interface: The physical network interface (WAN1 or LAN), through which this route is accessible.
Metric: Determines the priority of the route. If multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest metric is chosen.
Active: Determines whether the route is active or inactive. A route can be added to the table and made inactive, if not needed. This allows routes to be used as needed without deleting and re-adding the entry. An inactive route is not broadcast if RIP is enabled.
Private: Determines whether the route can be shared with other routers when RIP is enabled. If Yes is selected, then the route will not be shared in a RIP broadcast or multicast.
Edit: Make changes to the selected route entry.
Select All: Select all the entries in the Static Routes Table.
Delete: Delete selected entries from the Static Routes Table.
Add: Add a new route to the Static Routes Table.
Add Static Route
The Add Static Route page allows you to add a static route to the router’s routing database.
Static Route
Route Name: Name of the route, for identification and management purposes.
Active: Define whether the route will be active or inactive. When a route is added in inactive state, it will be listed in the table, but will not be used by the router. The route can be enabled later. This is useful if the network that the route connects to is not available when you added the route. When the network becomes available, the route can be enabled.
Private: Define whether the route can be shared with other routers when RIP is enabled. If checked, the route will be marked private, and will not be shared in a RIP broadcast or multicast.
Destination IP Address: Destination host or network the route leads to.
IP Subnet Mask: IPv4 Subnet Mask.
Interface: The physical network interface (WAN or LAN), through which this route is accessible.
Gateway IP Address: IP Address of the gateway through which the destination host or network can be reached.
Metric: Defines the priority of the route. Please choose a value between 2 and 15. If multiple routes to the same destination exist, the route with the lowest metric is chosen.
