Table 75 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup

LABEL	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.
	Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static
	route without having to delete the entry.
Private	This parameter determines if the NBG-460N 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.
Address	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	Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP	Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate
Address	neighbor of your NBG-460N that will forward the packet to the
	destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same
	segment as your NBG-460N; 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.
