Configuration/IP/Route/Create Help

To create static route:

Check the Fallback box for additional fields.

To create a new static route, enter values in the Names table, then click the Create button.

Names

Network Address The IP address of the device
Subnet Mask The submask associated with the route.
Next Hop Router The closest routing device.
Metric The number hops to get to the destination.
Fallback metric IP redundancy or fallback IP routes. A fallback route is a second static route with the same destination and net mask of an existing route but with a different next hop destination. The redundant or fallback route is used when the original next hop destination is unavailable. The fallback route continues to be used until the revertive period expires. At that time, traffic switches back to the primary route.
Ping interval (ms) A ping interval is used to determine route availability. The active next hop router is pinged once during each ping interval. The ping-interval is specified in milliseconds and has a minimum value of 500 milliseconds or 1/2 second.
Max number ping fail If the number of ping failures to the current next hop destination exceed the ping-fail-max setting, the current next hop destination is replaced in the routing table with the fallback next hop destination. The system begins pinging the new next hop router and monitoring the number of ping failures. The revertive period is set by the system based on a multiple of the ping interval and retry count.
