LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Route Name | Enter the name of the static route. |
|
|
Active | Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do not want the |
| static route to be used. |
|
|
Private | Select this if you do not want the ZyXEL Device to tell other routers about this |

| Clear this if you want the ZyXEL Device to tell other routers about this static route. |
|
|
Destination IP | Enter one of the destination IP addresses that this static route affects. |
Address |
|
|
|
IP Subnet Mask | Enter the subnet mask that defines the range of destination IP addresses that this |
| static route affects. If this static route affects only one IP address, enter |
| 255.255.255.255. |
|
|
Gateway IP | Enter the IP address of the gateway to which the ZyXEL Device should send |
Address | packets for the specified Destination. The gateway is a router or a switch on the |
| same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps |
| forward packets to their destinations. |
|
|
Metric | Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP. See |
| Chapter 7 on page 111 for more information. |
| The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best |
| route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". The smaller the |
| metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count as the measurement of cost, |
| where 1 is for a |
| value higher than 15, the routers assume the link is down. |
