FIELD
DESCRIPTION
Route #
This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1.
Route Name
Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Active
This field allows you to activate/deactivate 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
Type the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP
Subnet Mask in this manual.
Gateway IP Address
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor
of your ZyXEL device that will forward the packet to the destination. On the
LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyXEL
device; over WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote
nodes.
Metric
Metric represents 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. Type a number that approximates the cost for this link.
The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private
This parameter determines if the ZyXEL device will include the route to this
remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and
is not included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
