Configuring Static Routes

TrueNAS does not pre-define static routes by default, but TrueNAS administrators can manually add static routes if they want or need to enter routes to a router to send packets to a destination network.

Static routes are not aliases, they are fixed IP addresses assigned as alternative routes for network traffic sent to a specific destination (server, device) in the network.

You can use the Console Setup menu during installation or any time after the initial system configuration to add a static route through an SSH session or by connecting a monitor and keyboard to the system, but we recommend using the web UI to make changes to the network configuration.
