DESCRIPTION
Enter the name of the static route.
Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do
not want the static route to be used.
Select this if you do not want the WiMAX Modem to tell other routers
about this static route. For example, you might select this if the static
route is in your LAN. Clear this if you want the WiMAX Modem to tell
other routers about this static route.
Enter one of the destination IP addresses that this static route affects.
Enter the subnet mask that defines the range of destination IP
addresses that this static route affects. If this static route affects only
one IP address, enter 255.255.255.255.
Enter the IP address of the gateway to which the WiMAX Modem should
send packets for the specified Destination. The gateway is a router or
a switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN
port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines
the best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest
"cost". The smaller the metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count
as the measurement of cost, where 1 is for a directly-connected
network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a value higher than 15,
the routers assume the link is down.
