IP Static Route
A static route is a permanent entry in the routing table. Static routing
provides a means of explicitly defining the next hop router for a
particular destination network IP address. Each static route entry also
allows for a metric (a.k.a. hop count) to be specified.
The parameters are described below:
?? IP Address – this specifies the destination network IP address (or
a host, depending on the netmask) and pairs it with a gateway.
?? Netmask – this mask shows how the destination IP address is to
be divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has
ones in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used
for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.
?? Gateway – this is the adjacent next hop router, for which the
packets, arriving to this router with this destination IP address, will
be forwarded.
