ZyXEL Communications Prestige 100L manual IP Static Route Menu Fields, Field Description

		Prestige 100L IDSL Router
	Table 5-1	IP Static Route Menu Fields
FIELD		DESCRIPTION
Route #	This is the index number of the static route that you chose in Menu 12.
Route Name	Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.
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 for this destination.
Gateway IP	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
Address	Prestige that forwards 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 are usually good
	numbers.
Private	This parameter determines if the Prestige includes the route to this remote node in its
	RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in RIP
	broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node is propagated to other hosts through
	RIP broadcasts.
Once you have completed filling in this menu, press the [Enter] key at the message [Press ENTER to
Confirm . . .] to save your configuration, or press the [Esc] key to cancel.
