FIELD DESCRIPTION
Destination IP
Address
Address
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
Address
Address
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ZyAIR that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a
router on the same segment as your ZyAIR; over WAN, the gateway must be the IP
address of one of the remote nodes.

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.
Type 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 ZyAIR will include the route to this remote node in its
RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP
broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
