ZyXEL Communications 480 manual Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields, Field Description

Prestige 480 Dual BRI ISDN Router

The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup.

	Table 5-3 Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields
Field	Description
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	Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP subnet mask in
Mask	this chapter.
Gateway IP	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
Address	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 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 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.
