On the Static Routes pane, you can set static routing policies. When the device needs to communicate with IP addresses on different network segments, static routes must be configured. You can add IPv4 and IPv6 static routes.

Navigate to System > Network > Routing. The following describes an application scenario of IPv4 static routes.

The device functions as a gateway in route mode on the customer's network. The IP address of the LAN interface is 192.168.1.12/255.255.255.0, and PCs on the intranet are on network segment 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0. An L3 switch is deployed between PCs on the intranet and the device. When a PC on the intranet accesses the Internet, the data is forwarded to the device by the L3 switch. However, when the device forwards data to the PC, the destination is unclear because the PC's IP address is on another network segment. As a result, Internet access failure occurs.

To solve this problem, a static route needs to be set for forwarding the data destined for network segments on the intranet to the L3 switch, and the L3 switch will forward the data to corresponding PCs on the intranet.

Click Add. The Static Route page is displayed.

Destination: Destination network ID.

Netmask: Subnet mask of the target network.

Next-Hop IP: Next-hop IP address to the target network.

Interface: The interface for data forwarding.

Do not enter the networking interface IP address as the next IP address.

Click Routing Table to display all system routes, including IPv4 and IPv6 routes.

The device does not support dynamic routing protocols. You need to configure routes on the Static Route page.
