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.

Clear this if you want the ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device 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.
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. Usually, you should keep the default value.
