The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 29   Static Route: Edit

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.

Destination IP 

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.

IP Subnet Mask 

Enter the IP subnet mask here.

Gateway IP 

Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your 

Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway 

must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; 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. 

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige 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.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the Prestige.

Cancel

Click Cancel to return to the previous screen and not save your changes.
