Table 6-1 Ip Static Route Menu Fields - ZyXEL Communications Prestige 314 PLUS User Manual

FIELD
Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.
Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes 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. Routing is
Address 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 IP subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
Address Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must
be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over the WAN, the gateway must
be the IP address of one of the Remote Nodes.
Metric 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.
Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message "Press ENTER to
Confirm..." to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
