The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup. Table 79 Menu12.1 Edit IP Static Route
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 Address | This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. |
| 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 | 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 Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, |
| the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; 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 Prestige 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. |
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
