2. To add a route to the routing table, click the Add button. Then, when the dialog box in Figure 5-37 appears, complete the fields and click OK.

A warning message does not appear before you delete a route. Therefore, be sure you do not need the route before you delete it. Setting Destination Netmask Gateway Metric Table 5-12 Route Table Settings Description Enter the IP address of the destination for this route. Enter the netmask (subnet mask) associated with the network destination or press the Tab key to automatically set the default subnet mask to 255.255.255.0. Because of the relationship between the destination and the subnet mask in defining routes, the destination cannot be more specific than its corresponding subnet mask. In other words, there cannot be a bit set to 1 in the destination if the corresponding bit in the subnet mask is a 0. Specifies the forwarding or next hop IP address over which the set of addresses defined by the network destination and subnet mask are reachable. For locally attached subnet routes, the gateway address is the IP address assigned to the interface that is attached to the subnet. For remote routes, available across one or more routers, the gateway address is a directly reachable IP address that is assigned to a neighboring router. Specifies an integer cost metric (from 1 to 9999) for the route, which is used when choosing among multiple routes in the routing table that most closely match the destination address of a packet being forwarded. The route with the lowest metric is chosen. The metric can reflect the number of hops, the speed of the path, path reliability, path throughput, or administrative properties. 86 Chapter 5 Configuring the xStack Storage Array
