Table 7-1 Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields

DESCRIPTION
This is the index number of the route as listed in Menu
12 - IP Static Route Setup.
Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for
identification purpose only.
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this 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 subnet mask for this destination. Follow the
discussion on IP subnet mask in this chapter.
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an
immediate neighbor of your 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
WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the
remote nodes.
The 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.
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.
