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.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
