In the NE Explorer, choose Communication > IP Protocol Stack Management from the Function Tree. Click the IP Route Management tab.

Parameters

**Table 1** Descriptions of the parameters for IP Route Management
Field	Value	Description
Destination Address	Valid class A, B or C addresses. For example: 129.0.0.1	Specifies the IP address of the destination of an IP data packet. NOTE: The destination address cannot be the local address or a 127.xxx loopback address.
Mask	For example: 255.255.0.0	Specifies the subnet mask of the destination of an IP data packet. NOTE: Configure the same subnet mask for NEs in the same network segment. Otherwise, an route error occurs.
Gateway IP Address	For example: 126.9.8.54	Displays the IP address of gateway.
Protocol	DIRECT, STATIC, OSPF, RIP, OSPF_ASE, OSPF_NSSA	Displays the type of the routing protocol. DIRECT: This route is the route between this NE and an adjacent NE. STATIC: This route is manually created. OSPF: This route is the route between this NE and a non-adjacent NE. RIP: This route is detected by the routing protocol. OSPF_ASE: The destination of this route is outside the OSPF area. OSPF_NSSA: The destination of this route is in the not so stubby area (NSSA). NOTE: Only static route can be deleted and the other types of routes cannot be edited. A static route has a higher priority than a dynamic route. When they conflict, the static route is first selected.
Interface	For example: Ethernet0, DCN Bridge	Displays the interface the route uses. NOTE: When configuring a static route for communication between the control and management planes in Create an IP Route dialog, set Interface to DCN Bridge. In other cases, set Interface to None.
Metric	0 to 65535	Displays the maximum number of routers an IP data packet passes.
Working Status	For example: Working	Display the working status of the route.
