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

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

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

Mask

this manual.

Gateway IP

Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your

Address

ZyAIR that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a

 

router on the same segment as your ZyAIR; 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 ZyAIR 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.
