Click Apply.
Static Routing
Static Routing is a manually configured fixed pathway that a packet must travel to reach a destination. If there
is no communication between the routers on the current network topology, static routing can be configured
to communicate between the routers. Static Routing uses less network resources than dynamic routing because
they do not constantly calculate the next route to take.
To configure static routing, follow these steps:
Step 1
Select Routing > Static Routing.
Step 2
For IPv4 Routes, in the Route Table, click Add or Edit and configure the following:
Network
Mask
Next Hop
Metric
Interface
Routing Information Protocol next generation (RIPng) uses User Datagram Packets
(UDP) to send routing information. This is based on RIP version 2 but used for IPv6
routing.
• Check Enable to enable RIP IPv6 routing.
• Check Passive to disable sending RIPng version.
Note
Passive configuration is activated only when Enable is
checked.
This is a security feature that forces authentication of RIP packets before routes are
exchanged with other routers. This is not available for RIPv1.
• Check Enable to enable authentication so that routes are exchanged only with
trusted routers on the network.
• Password: Select the authentication type — Plain (common method of
authentication) or MD5 (challenge-response authentication mechanism) — and
enter the password.
Enter the destination subnetwork IP address to which you want to assign a static route
to.
Enter the subnet mask of the destination address.
Enter the IP address of the router of the last resort.
The value in the Metric field represents the number of routers between your network
and the destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value
of 1.
Choose the interface to use for this static route from the drop-down list.
