The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 51 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. |
|
|
Private | This parameter determines if the ZyXEL Device will include this route to a remote |
| node in its RIP broadcasts. |
| Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP |
| broadcasts. Clear this checkbox to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP |
| broadcasts. |
|
|
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 Mask | Enter the IP subnet mask here. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of |
Address | your ZyXEL Device that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the |
| gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyXEL Device; 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 ZyXEL Device. |
|
|
Cancel | Click Cancel to return to the previous screen and not save your changes. |
