Table 91   Network > Routing > Static Route

#

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.

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
