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. 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 your

Address

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 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.
