In this section:
This object specifies the gateway to which you wish to direct traffic from your Packet, Management, or Link Interface. In effect, this object allows you to add, change, and delete gateways (next Hops) to these interfaces. Interface and static routes combine to form the IP routing table for your network.
This table must ultimately provide a route to each potential call destination IP address. The static route is used to add static IP routes for the IP interfaces. A static route indicates the nextHop gateway and IP interface that should be used for a particular peer network IP prefix.
Note
Each signaling port within an Address Context must use a unique IP address and port number combination.
Note
The SBC 5210 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.
(This ability does not apply to the SBC 5110 and 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restrictions.)
For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.
To View Static Route
On SBC main screen, navigate to Configuration > System Provisioning > Category: Base Provisioning > Static Route.
The Static Route window is displayed.
System Provisioning - Static Route
The Static Route can be checked for each Address Context or for all the Address Contexts created. Use the drop-down box to select the desired Address Context.

To Edit Static Route
To edit any of the Static Routes in the list, click the radio button next to the specific Static Route name.
Static Route Highlighted
The Edit Selected Static Route window is displayed below.
Static Route Edit Window
Make the required changes and click Save at the right hand bottom of the panel to save the changes made.
The SBC does not allow to edit the Condition for a Static Route. To change the configuration of Condition, delete the Static Route and reconfigure it.
To Create Static Route
To create a new Static Route, click New Static Route tab on the Static Route List panel.
Static Route Fields
The Create New Static Route window is displayed.

The following fields are displayed:
Static Route Parameters
|
|
|---|---|
| The destination IP address. The following IP address types are supported: |
| The IP prefix of this static route entry. |
| The address of the next system en-route to the destination. |
| The name of an IP interface group. |
| The name of the IP interface for this entry. |
| Route preference value. |
Condition | An element in the Currently, NOTE: The |
CE Name | The name (1 - 255 characters) of the computing element that hosts the port used by the IP interface. |
For a High Availability (HA) pair configuration, the SBC allows configuring a Static Route for a specific host or CE Name among the active and standby hosts of a HA pair configuration using the Condition element. The Condition element store the conditions on the basis of which routes are added to a SBC pair with HA configuration. Currently, the Condition element only supports the CE Name element.
Before configuring the Condition using a specific CE Name, ensure that IP Interface Group Name and IP Interface Name are configured. These three elements cannot be configured and saved simultaneously. For further details, refer to System Provisioning - IP Interface Group and IP Interface Group - IP Interface.
Static Routes with specific CE Name can be added only for packet interfaces.
To Copy Static Route
To copy any of the created Static Route and to make any minor changes, click the radio button next to the specific Static Route to highlight the row.
Static Route Highlighted
Click Copy Static Route tab on the Static Route List panel.
Static Route Fields
The Copy Selected Static Route window is displayed along with the field details which can be edited.
Static Route Copy Window
Make the required changes to the required fields and click Save to save the changes. The copied Static Route is displayed at the bottom of the original Static Route in the Static Route List panel.
To Delete Static Route
To delete any of the created Static Route, click the radio button next to the specific Static Route which you want to delete.
Static Route Highlighted
Click the Delete symbol at the end of the highlighted row. A delete confirmation message appears seeking your decision.
Static Route Delete Confirmation
Click Yes to remove the specific Static Route from the list.
- The SBC does not allow to delete the
CE Nameseparately. Static Routeis deleted only from the instance in which it is configured, and not from both active and standby instances of a HA pair SBC configuration.
