Manage static routes

You can configure unicast and multicast routes.

The options are as follows:

Setting Description
IPv4 unicast route

The IPv4 unicast route section shows a list of all the configured IPv4 unicast routes.

You can filter the list based on IP address, gateway IP address, interface, or description.

You can add, edit, clone, delete, and turn IPv4 static routes on or off.
