LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Gateway IP

Enter 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.

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.

Private

This parameter determines if the ZyWALL 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.
