IP Static Route Configuration
Static routes are manually entered into Alteon by an administrator. Although whole networks could be built upon static routes, they do not have the capacity to change without user intervention and therefore do not adequately represent the ever-changing reality of an enterprise network. It is because of this that static routes have an important but limited role in the enterprise network. Typically, static routes are used in situations when a protocol like RIP or OSPF cannot provide the information necessary to create connectivity between two nodes.
For example, a node in a network that is running OSPF may need to know the route to a node in a network that is not running OSPF. OSPF would not provide information about either network to its counterpart. In this situation, a static route should be used to provide connectivity.
Alteon supports both IPv4 and IPv6 static routes. You can define up to 1024 static routes.
