Destination IP

NXC5200 User's Guide

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

Enter the IP subnet mask here.

Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop

gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your

NXC's interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their

destinations.

Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the

traffic is sent.

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 0~127.

In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
