Configuring a Destination Route

System > Network > Route > Destination Route

The destination route determines the next routing hop based on the destination IP address. Usually a network with comparatively a small number of outbound connections or stable Intranet connections will use a destination route. 

In the Destination Route page, you can perform the following actions:

Options in the Destination Route Configuration dialog:

Option Description

Destination

Type the IP address for the route into the text box

Subnet Mask

Type the corresponding subnet mask into the text box.

Next Hop

To specify the type of next hop, click Gateway or Interface. If Gateway is selected, type the IP address into the Gateway text box below; if Interface is selected, select a name from the Interface drop-down list below. For a tunnel interface, type the gateway address for the tunnel's peer in the optional box below.

Precedence

Type the route precedence into the Precedence text box. The smaller the parameter is, the higher the precedence is. If multiple routes are available, the route with higher precedence will be prioritized. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1. When the value is set to 255, the route is invalid.

Weight

Type the weight for the route into the Weight text box. This parameter is used to determine the weight of traffic forwarding in load balance. The value range is 1 to 255. The default value is 1.
