GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

Among routes to the same destination, the route with the lowest preference value is the

route entered into the forwarding database. By specifying the preference of a static route,

the user controls whether a static route is more or less preferred. The preference also

controls whether a static route is more or less preferred than other static routes to the

same destination. The preference is an integer value from 1 to 255. You can specify the

preference value (sometimes called “administrative distance”) of an individual static

route.

To delete a route, select the check box next to the route and click DELETE.

The Learned Routes table provides information about the routes the switch already has in its

routing table.
