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.
