gateway when it does not know how to route the packet to its destination. The

 

gateway should be on the same network as the interface.

 

 

Metric

Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The ZyWALL decides

 

which gateway to use based on this priority. The lower the number, the higher

 

the priority. If two or more gateways have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses

 

the one that was configured first.
