Static routing

Static routing is a licensed task that allows for configuration of static routes on selected devices. The current set of devices support by this task is WeOS 4 and WeOS 5 devices.

Interface components

The user interfac for this panel is a fairly straight-forward list of devices, each containing a list of configured routes. These routes may be added, deleted or modified. A route in this panel consists of the following parameters:

ParameterDescription
SubnetsThe subnet address space targeted by the route in CIDR Notation
GatewayThe gateway address for the next hop along the route, an IPv4 address
InterfaceThe network interface to send traffic matching the route on, * is used to mean any, meaning the gateway is the only targeting parameter, otherwise an interface such as vlan1 may be specified
DistanceThe distance weight of the route, a value between 0-255

Context Menu Options

Additionally, the presence of this panel adds a couple of options to the Context Menu under the top menu item "Static Routing", as specified below:

Route To...

When, in the topology view, a subnet A is selected that has at least 1 adjacent subnet and contains at least one device supporting static route configuration, this context menu will appear. The menu will contain a list of valid adjacent subnets, and clicking one of these specified subnets B in the context menu will cause WeConfig to set up static routes going from subnet A to subnet B.

Remove

When, in the topology view, one-or-more number of devices that support static route configuration is selected, this context menu item will appear. Clicking it will strip the selected devices of any configured static routes.

Create Routes

When, in the topology view, two or more subnets are selected that each contain at least one device supporting static route configuration, this context menu will appear. Clicking this context menu will attempt to set up all the static routes that traverse from the and to each pair of subnets in the selected set of subnets.
