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 #		This is the index number of the static route that you chose in Menu 12.1.
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 route.
Destination IP Address		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.
IP Subnet Mask		Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP
		subnet mask in Chapter 3.
Gateway IP Address		Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an 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		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.
