#

This is the number of an individual static route.

Destination

This is the destination IP address. 

Subnet Mask

This is the IP subnet mask.

Next-Hop

This is the IP address of the next-hop gateway or the interface through 
which the traffic is routed. The gateway is a router or switch on the same 
segment as your ZyWALL's interface(s). The gateway helps forward 
packets to their destinations.

Metric

This is the route’s priority among the ZyWALL’s routes. The smaller the 
number, the higher priority the route has.

Table 84   Configuration > Network > Routing > Static Route > Add

Destination IP  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.

Subnet Mask 

Enter the IP subnet mask here.
