DESCRIPTION
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static route without
having to delete the entry.
Enter a descriptive name for the 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.
Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Select a WAN interface through which the traffic is sent. You must have the WAN
interface(s) already configured in the Broadband screens.
Select this option and enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway
is a router or switch on the same segment as your ZyXEL Device's interface(s).
The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
If you choose Enable in the Use Gateway IP Address field, enter the IP address
of the gateway.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving.
