Configuring Static Routing
Use static routes in environments where network traffic is predictable and where the network design is simple. Routers forward packets using either route information from route table entries that you manually configure or the route information that is calculated using dynamic routing algorithms. Static routing is the simplest form of routing, where you manually enter routes into a routing table.
Static routes define explicit paths between two routers, and cannot be automatically updated. You must manually reconfigure static routes when network changes occur.
Procedure
Step 1 |
Choose Services > Static Routing, and click Add. |
Step 2 |
In the Create Static Route window, select IP Type for IPv4 or IPv6 address. |
Step 3 |
For provisioning static routing using IPv4 address:
The route is removed when the DHCP lease expires. Using DHCP to determine a route path eliminates the need to configure static routes to an outside interface and the configuration of a next-hop router. |
Step 4 |
For provisioning static routing using IPv6 address:
|
Step 5 |
Click Save to save the static route. |
