There are two possibilities here:
1. Default Route
If the "default" value is entered in the Destination Address field, a default
route is defined. The Destination Mask field must then have the value
"0.0.0.0."
2. Route
If an IP address or an address pool is entered in the Destination Address
field, all data is sent to the IP address or the address pool via the entered
gateway address.
The gateway metric here has an important function. This determines the
costs of the connection.
For example, if two identical address pools are defined (192.168.1.0/24)
[IP:192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254], one with a metric of 20 and the second
with 192.168.1.2 and a metric of 10, the gateway with the lowest metric is
used.
If the address 192.168.1.2 in the above example is no longer available,
e.g., due to failure, the alternative route is used automatically.
