The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup.

 

Table 6-3 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

Type 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

Type the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP Subnet

 

Mask in this manual.

 

 

Gateway IP Address

Type 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. Type 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 is not

 

included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be

 

propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
