 Chapter 9 Static Route

P-660RU-Tx User’s Guide

Use this screen to configure the required information for a static route. Select a 
static route index number and click Edit, or click the ADD ROUTE button in the 
Routing Table List screen. The screen shown next appears.

Figure 33   Advanced > Routing > Static Route

The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

Table 20   Advanced > Static Route: 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 in this field.

Gateway IP 
Address

You can set the static route using a gateway IP address or a remote 
node.

Enter 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.

Select a remote node from the drop-down list box to set the static route. 
A remote note is a connection point outside of the local area network. 
One example of a remote node is your connection to your ISP. See 

 for details on configuring a remote node.

Metric

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the P-660RU-Tx 
uses.

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the 
best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP 
routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 
"1" for directly connected networks. The number must be between "1" 
and "15"; a number greater than "15" means the link is down. The 
smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
