2.Enter the following data to create a new static route.

Destination LAN IP: The Destination LAN IP is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be 0.

Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask (also known as the Network Mask) iden- tifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which por- tion is the host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

Gateway IP: This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the remote network or host.

Hop Count: This determines the maximum number of steps between net- work nodes that data packets will travel. A node is any device on the net- work, such as PCs, print servers, routers, etc.
