Click Add New Static Route in the Static Route screen or click the Edit icon next to a rule. The 

following screen appears. Use this screen to configure the required information for a static route.

Figure 71 Static Route: Add/Edit

The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

Table 35   Routing: Add/Edit 

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 here.

Gateway IP 

Address

You can decide if you want to forward packets to a gateway IP address or a bound 

interface.
If you want to configure Gateway IP Address, enter the IP address of the next-hop 

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.

Bound Interface

You can decide if you want to forward packets to a gateway IP address or a bound 

interface.
If you want to configure Bound Interface, select the check box and choose an 

interface through which the traffic is sent. You must have the WAN interfaces already 

configured in the Broadband screen.

Metric

Enter 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.
