The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 17   Advanced> LAN Configuration > IP Static Route > Edit

Route Name

Enter the name of the static route.

Active

Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do 
not want the static route to be used.

Private

Select this if you do not want the WiMAX Modem to tell other routers 
about this static route. For example, you might select this if the static 
route is in your LAN. Clear this if you want the WiMAX Modem to tell 
other routers about this static route.

Destination IP 
Address

Enter one of the destination IP addresses that this static route affects.

IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask that defines the range of destination IP 

addresses that this static route affects. If this static route affects only 
one IP address, enter 255.255.255.255.

Gateway IP 
Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway to which the WiMAX Modem should 
send packets for the specified Destination. The gateway is a router or 
a switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN 
port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.

Metric

Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP.

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines 
the best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest 
"cost". The smaller the metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count 
as the measurement of cost, where 1 is for a directly-connected 
network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a value higher than 15, 
the routers assume the link is down.
