ADSL2+ Modem Router User Manual
Next hop: Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ADSL Router that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a
router on the same segment as your Router; over Internet (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 to be precise, but it must
between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Interface: the WAN interface to which a static route is to be applied.
The Static Route Table shows the current static route entries.
4.3.1.2 IPv6 Static Route:
Destination: Type the destination for the route. The destination can be a host address, network
address, or the destination for the default route,
Prefix length: Type the prefix length of the destination. The prefix is the part of the address that
specifies the network identifier. The prefix length identifies how many bits of the destination
address in an IPv6 packet must match the Destination field in this route. A prefix length of 128
means that only an exact match of the destination address can use this route. A prefix length of 0
means that any destination address can use this route.
