Table 54 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Route Name	Enter the name of the IP static route. Leave this field blank to delete
	this static route.
Active	This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP	This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Address	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	Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate
Address	neighbor of your NBG-417N that will forward the packet to the
	destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same
	segment as your NBG-417N; over the 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. Enter 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.
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-417N.
Cancel	Click Cancel to return to the previous screen and not save your
	changes.
