Dynamic
- —The destination is an indirectly-attached (remote) IPv6 subnet
address. The entry was obtained dynamically via the ND or ICMP
protocol.
Static
- —The entry was manually configured by a user.
When the switch is in Layer 3 system mode, this page enables configuring and
viewing IPv4 static routes on the switch. When routing traffic, the next hop is
decided on according to the longest prefix match (LPM algorithm). A destination
IPv4 address may match multiple routes in the IPv4 Static Route Table. The switch
uses the matched route with the highest subnet mask, that is, the longest prefix
match.
To define an IP static route:
Click IP Configuration > IPv4 Routes.
The IPv4 Static Routes page opens.
Click Add. The Add IP Static Route page opens.
Enter values for the following fields:
• Destination IP Prefix—Enter the destination IP address prefix.
• Mask—Select and enter information for one of the following:
- Network Mask—The IP route prefix for the destination IP.
- Prefix Length—The IP route prefix for the destination IP.
• Next Hop Router IP Address—Enter the next hop IP address or IP alias on
the route.
You cannot configure a static route through a directly-connected IP
NOTE
subnet where the switch gets its IP address from a DHCP server.
• Route Type—Select the route type.
Reject
- —Rejects the route and stops routing to the destination network
via all gateways. This ensures that if a frame arrives with the destination
IP of this route, it is dropped.
