Help for Add Static Route


Description of the information displayed

The Add Static Route page lets you add a static route definition to the system. The newly added static route definition is added to the end of the list of static routes already defined for the system.

To create a static route, provide the requested information and select Submit to add the static route definition.

Interface Identifies the network adapter to use when sending data associated with this static route. Set this value by selecting a network adapter from the supplied drop-down list. The drop-down list contains all network adapters currently attached and defined to the system.
Type The type of static route being created. Set this value by selecting one of the following values from the supplied drop-down list:

Host The static route definition specifies how to send data to a specific remote system. The IP address of the remote system is identified in the Target field.
Network The static route definition specifies how to send data to any remote system in a different subnet in the network. The subnet (that is, the group of remote systems) associated with this static route definition is identified by the combination of the network address specified in the Target field and the network mask specified in the Netmask field. The gateway device used to reach the subnet is identified in the Gateway field.

Target The IP address of the remote host or network address of the subnet associated with the static route. This value can be any valid IP or network address (that is, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).
Netmask (Optional) The network mask for the static route definition. This value is required for static route definitions to another subnet (Type=Network). It is ignored for static route definitions to a specific remote system (Type=Host). This value can be any valid network mask.
Gateway (Optional) The IP address of the gateway device for the static route. This value is required for static route definitions to another subnet (Type=Network). It is ignored for static route definitions to a specific remote system (Type=Host). This value can be any valid IP address (that is, nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).
