Next-Hop

This is the IP address of the next-hop gateway or the interface through which the

DESCRIPTION

Destination IP

This parameter 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.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Enter the IP subnet mask here.
