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.

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 homepage is displayed.

  4. Search for the target enterprise router by name.

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