Table 213   Menu 12. 1: Edit IP Static Route

Route #

This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.

Route Name

Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.

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 for this destination.

Gateway IP 

Address

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

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

must be a router on the same segment as your ZyWALL; over the WAN, the 

gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

Metric

Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the ZyWALL’s routes 

). The smaller the number, the higher priority the route 

has.

Private

This parameter determines if the ZyWALL will include the route to this remote node 

in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in RIP 

broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts 

through RIP broadcasts.

Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to 

Confirm…” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
