Gateway IP 

Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same 

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.
