Creating IPv4 and IPv6 Static Routes

This section controls the creation of static routes. Under normal circumstances, QNE automatically obtains routing information after it has been configured for Internet access. Static routes are only required in special circumstances, such as having multiple IP subnets located on your network.

  1. Open Network Manager.
  2. Go to Advanced Settings > Static Route > Static Route.
  3. Under Type, select the IP version.
  4. Click Add Static Route.

    The Static Route window appears.

  5. Configure the settings.

    Note:

    Metrics are cost values used by routers to determine the best path to a destination network.
