Defining a Static Route
A static route is a manually configured route that specifies a datagram’s
transmission path to another network. You configure a static route if you want to
restrict datagrams to paths that you specifically design.
Static routes remain in IP routing tables until you remove them. Note, however,
that if the interface to the next hop in the static route becomes disabled, the static
route is deleted from the IP routing table.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify the following:
• The IP address of the network to which you want to configure the static route.
• The subnet mask of the destination network.
• The number of router hops that a datagram can traverse before reaching the
destination IP address. The IP router uses the cost value when determining the
best route for a datagram to follow.
• The IP address of the next-hop router.
• A weighted value (from 1 through 16, with 16 being the most preferred) that
the IP router uses to choose a route when its routing tables contain multiple
routes to the same destination.
• The local router circuit associated with the static route over an unnumbered
interface (Site Manager only).
• The state (active or inactive) of the static route record in the IP routing tables.
IP supports multiple static routes to the same destination. IP uses the best route to
forward packets and treats the other routes as backup routes in case the chosen
route becomes unusable or is no longer considered the best route.
