DESCRIPTION
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 in dotted decimal notation.
Enter the IP address of the gateway.
The gateway is a router or switch on the same network segment as the device's LAN or
WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
Select the interface through which packets are to be forwarded.
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.
