Table 52 Advanced: Static Route
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
|
|
Static Route | Set the fields below to configure static route settings. You can configure up to 20 |
| static routes at a time. |
No. | This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1. |
|
|
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. |
Destination | Type the subnet mask for this destination. |
Subnet Mask |
|
Gateway IP | Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same |
Address | network segment as the device’s LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward |
| packets to their destinations. |
Hop Count | Hop count 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. Select 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. |
Interface | Specify whether the static route setting applies to the LAN or the WAN interface. |
|
|
Apply | Click Apply to save the changes. New static route entries display in the table |
| below. |
