Nokia Network Voyager for IPSO 4.0 Reference Guide 395
Normal—A normal static route is one used to forward packets for a given destination in the
direction indicated by the configured router.
Black hole—A black hole static route is a route that uses the loopback address as the next
hop. This route discards packets that match the route for a given destination.
Reject—A reject static route is a route that uses the loopback address as the next hop. This
route discards packets that match the route for a given destination and sends an ICMP
unreachable message back to the sender of the packet.

Gateway Address specifies the IP address of the gateway to which forwarding packets for
each static route are sent. This must be the address of a router that is directly connected to
the system you are configuring.

To setting the rank for static routes
1. Click Static Routes under Configuration > Routing Configuration in the tree view.
2. Click Advanced Options.
3. To set the rank for each static route you have configured, enter a value in the Rank text box.
The system uses the rank value to determine which route to use when routes are present
from different protocols to the same destination. For each route, the system uses the route
from the protocol with the lowest rank number.
The default for static routes is 60. The range you can enter is 0 to 255.
