Table 5-3 Edit Ip Static Route Menu Fields - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 641 User Manual

The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup.
Field Description
Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Address 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 subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP subnet
mask in this chapter.
Gateway IP Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of
your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
Address
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN,
the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric The 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. Enter 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.
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not
included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
