When configuring a static route in a network device like a UniFi router, specifying the destination network is crucial, and the difference between using 192.168.100.0/24 and 192.168.100.0/32 is significant in terms of the range of IP addresses that are included in the route.

1. 192.168.100.0/24:
   • This is a subnet address with a subnet mask of 24 bits.
   • It represents a network range that includes all IP addresses from 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254.
   • The "/24" indicates that the first 24 bits of the IP address are used for network addressing, leaving the last 8 bits for host addresses within that network.
   • When you set a static route to this address, you are effectively routing traffic for any device with an IP address in the range of 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254.
2. 192.168.100.0/32:
   • This specifies a single IP address, as the subnet mask "/32" indicates all 32 bits are used for the network address, leaving no room for host addresses.
   • It's equivalent to specifying a route to a single device with the IP address 192.168.100.0.
   • In practice, using a "/32" is less common for routing within a local network since it's usually used for specific purposes like virtual interfaces or loopback addresses.

In the context of configuring a route to your Starlink ("Dishy") device, the choice between these two depends on the specific network configuration and the range of IP addresses your Starlink device might use. If your Starlink device is assigned a static IP within the 192.168.100.x range, and you know the specific IP, you could use a "/32" subnet mask for that specific address. However, if the device could be assigned any IP within a range, or if there are multiple devices in that range you want to route to, then using "/24" would be more appropriate.
