Routing: Add/Edit

Active

Click this to activate this static route.

Route Name

Enter the name of the IP static route. Leave this field blank to delete 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 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 interface(s) already configured in 
the Broadband screen.
