DESCRIPTION
This field displays the number of the static route.
Enter the name of the static route. If you leave this field blank, you can delete
the static route by pressing [ENTER].
Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do not want
the static route to be used.
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.
Select this if you do not want the ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device to tell other routers about this static
route.
