The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup.
| Table |
|
|
Field | Description |
|
|
Route Name | Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only. |
|
|
Active | This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. |
|
|
Destination IP | This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. |
Address | Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to |
| a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field |
| to force the network number to be identical to the host ID. |
|
|
IP Subnet Mask | Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP subnet |
| mask in this chapter. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of |
Address | your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the |
| gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN, |
| the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. |
|
|
Metric | The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP |
| routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for |
| directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for |
| this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In |
| practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number. |
|
|
Private | This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote |
| node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not |
| included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be |
| propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. |
