Next-Hop

This is the IP address of the next-hop gateway or the interface through

 

which the traffic is routed. The gateway is a router or switch on the same

 

segment as your ZyWALL's interface(s). The gateway helps forward

 

packets to their destinations.

DESCRIPTION

Destination IP

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.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Enter the IP subnet mask here.
