3.4.6 Static Routes
The Static Routes menu allows you to configure a route to a network through an interface manually.
• Click on the Static Routes menu item and the following dialog window will appear:
To add a Static Route on the Red Lion router:
• Click on the Add button and the dialog window below will appear:
Interface: Select the interface to which the route should be applied by select-
ing one of the available options from the drop-down list. The available inter-
faces varies depending on the particular model of device, as well as the
current configuration, and may include those created as aliases, VPN tunnels.
Use as “Any” Route?: Select whether or not this route should be used as an
“any” route by selecting Yes or No from the provided drop-down list.
When set to Yes, the route will take effect when a network change event (up/
down) occurs on any interface. For example, if the configured interface is set
to eth0, and the ppp0 interface becomes active, then the route will be reap-
plied to eth0.
When set to No, the route will take effect only when a network change occurs
on the configured interface. For example, if the configured interface is eth1, then the route will be assigned only when
eth1 has a network change to an active state.
Select Route Type: Select the type of route to be created by choosing one of the available options from the provided
drop-down list. The choices are Host or Network.
Select Host to create a route to a specific device. This will require setting the Target IP Address and Gateway parame-
ters.
Select Network to create a route to a remote network. This will require setting the Network IP Address, Netmask and
Gateway parameters.
Enter Target IP Address (Required): Enter the IP Address of the destination host to which the route should be created.
Enter Gateway (Required): Enter the IP Address of the gateway for the specified host or network. A gateway is a
device (typically a router) used to gain access to another network.
For example, if a device is attached to a LAN whose a network address is 192.168.1.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0,
than it can communicate directly with any other device on that network with a range of addresses of 192.168.1.1
