DESCRIPTION
Destination IP
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. 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.

Gateway IP
Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The
gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your ZyWALL's interface(s).
The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.

Interface
Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the traffic is sent.
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.
