Description

Route #

This is the index number of the route as listed in Menu

 

 

12 - IP Static Route Setup.

 

Route Name

Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for

 

 

identification purpose only.

 

Active

This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static

Yes/No

 

route.

 

Destination IP

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the

 

Address

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. Follow the

 

 

discussion on IP subnet mask in this chapter.

 

Gateway IP

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an

 

Address

immediate neighbor of your Prestige that will forward the

 

 

packet to the destination. On the LAN the gateway must

 

 

be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over

 

 

WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the

 

 

remote nodes.

 

Metric

The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for

1 to 15

 

routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count 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 need not be precise,

 

 

but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is

 

 

usually a good number.

 

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige 1600 will

Yes/No

 

include the route to this remote node in its RIP

 

 

broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and

 

 

not included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this

 

 

remote node will be propagated to other hosts through

 

 

RIP broadcasts.
