GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches directly attached network. When creating a route, the next hop IP must be on the same network as the routing interface. Valid next hop IP Addresses can be seen on the 'Route Table' page. 5. In the Preference field, specify a preference value for the configured next hop. The preference is an integer value from 1 to 255. You can specify the preference value (sometimes called "administrative distance") of an individual static route. Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the route entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a static route, the user controls whether a static route is more or less preferred. The preference also controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the same destination. 6. In the Identifier field, optionally specify a description to identify the route. 7. To add a route, enter the route information into the appropriate fields and click Add. 8. To delete a route, select the check box next to the route and click Delete. The Route Status table provides information about the routes the GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS already has in its routing table. Field Route Type Network Address Subnet Mask Protocol Next Hop Interface Next Hop IP Address Preference Description Indicates whether the learned route is a static or default route. The IP route prefix for the destination. Also referred to as the subnet/network mask, this indicates the portion of the IP interface address that identifies the attached network. This field tells which protocol created the specified route. The possibilities are one of the following: • Local • Static The outgoing router interface to use when forwarding traffic to the destination. The outgoing router IP address to use when forwarding traffic to the next router (if any) in the path towards the destination. The next router is always one of the adjacent neighbors or the IP address of the local interface for a directly attached network. Shows the preference value for the configured next hop. 170
