5.4.1. Routes

A route has the following parameters:

  • Address: It is the IP address of the network.

  • Netmask: It is the Netmask of the network.

    Note

    The IP address and netmask parameters are displayed in the Network column of the routing entries list.

  • Gateway: It is the IP address of the gateway to be used for transmitting the packages.

  • Interface: It is the Ethernet interface to be used for transmitting the packages. This parameter must be selected from the combobox listing the configured interfaces.

  • Metric: It is an optional parameter to define a metric for the route. The metric is an integer from the 0 – 32766 range.

  • Description: These notes describe what this entry is used for.

The above parameters are interpreted the following way: messages sent to the Address/Netmask network should be delivered through Gateway using Interface.

New entries into the routing table can be added by clicking the New button of the control bar; existing entries can be modified by clicking Edit. The updated routing tables take effect only after the new configuration is uploaded to the host, and the routing tables are reloaded using the Actions/Reload buttons of the control bar.
