|
|
Field |
| Description |
|
|
|
|
|
Route Name |
| Enter a descriptive name for this route for identification purposes only. |
|
|
|
|
|
Active |
| This field allows you to activate or deactivate this static route. |
|
|
|
| |
Destination IP Address | This field specifies the IP network address of the final destination. 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. For more information about setting |
|
|
| IP subnet masks, see “Subnet Addressing” on page |
|
|
|
| |
Gateway IP Address | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor |
| |
|
| of the router that forwards the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the |
|
|
| gateway must be a router on the same segment as the router. Over ISDN, the |
|
|
| gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Metric |
| The Metric field represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP |
|
|
| routing uses hop counts 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 does not have to be precise, but it must be between 1 |
|
|
| and 16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number. |
|
|
|
|
|
Private |
| This field determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its |
|
|
| RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any |
|
|
| RIP broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to |
|
|
| other hosts through RIP broadcasts. |
