Field

 

Description

 

 

 

Route Name

 

Enter a descriptive name for this route for identification purposes only.

 

 

 

Active

 

Use this field to activate or deactivate this static route.

 

 

Destination IP Address

Enter 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.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway to the destination network. The gateway

 

 

is the next router that your router contacts in order to forward packets to the

 

 

destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment

 

 

as the router. Over the WAN, the gateway will be the IP address of the router

 

 

at your ISP.
