The following table describes the IP Static Route Menu fields.

 

Table 8-1 IP Static Route Menu Fields

 

 

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

Route #

This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.

 

 

Route Name

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

 

 

Active

This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.

 

 

Destination IP

This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is

Address

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 IP subnet mask for this destination.

 

 

Gateway IP

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your

Address

ExpWave that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must

 

be a router on the same segment as your ExpWave; over the WAN, the gateway must

 

be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

Metric

Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for 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 ExpWave will 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.

 

 

Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
