Here is more detailed information about interfaces on the ZyWALL.

Most interfaces have an IP address and a subnet mask. This information is used to 
create an entry in the routing table.

Metric

Enter the priority of the gateway (if any) on this interface. The 
ZyWALL decides which gateway to use based on this priority. The 
lower the number, the higher the priority. If two or more gateways 
have the same priority, the ZyWALL uses the one that was configured 
first.
