DESCRIPTION
This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1.
Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
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.
Type the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP
Subnet Mask in this manual.
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor
of your ZyAIR that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyAIR; over WAN,
the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
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.
This parameter determines if the ZyAIR 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.
