Creating a Static Route

Scenarios

You can create static routes in a route table of an enterprise router.

Static routes are classified into common routes and blackhole routes. A blackhole route only has a destination and has no next hop. It drops all traffic sent to the specified destination.

Static routes can be created for the following types of attachments:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
  3. Click Service List and choose Networking > Enterprise Router.

    The Enterprise Router page is displayed.

  4. Search for the target enterprise router by name.
  5. Go to the Route Tables tab using either of the following methods:

    • In the upper right corner of the enterprise router, click Manage Route Table.
    • Click the enterprise router name and click Route Tables.

  6. Click the route table where you want to create a static route. On the Routes tab, click Create Route.

    The Create Route dialog box is displayed.

  7. Configure the parameters based on Table 1.
