The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup.

Table 118   Menu12.1.1 Edit IP Static Route

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. See

in this manual.

Gateway IP Address

Type the IP address of the 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. 

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 Prestige 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.
