ZyXEL Communications HS100/HS100W manual Static Route Setup

HomeSafe User’s Guide

	Table 23-1 Menu12.1 Edit IP Static Route
FIELD	DESCRIPTION
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 HomeSafe that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
	gateway must be a router on the same segment as your HomeSafe; 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 HomeSafe 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.
