9.4 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the features described in this
chapter.
Chapter 9 Policy and Static Routes
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 here.
Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a
router or switch on the same segment as your NXC's interface(s). The gateway helps
forward packets to their destinations.
Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the traffic is sent.
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 0~127. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
