router and other devices to account for changes in the path; once configured the
static route will be active and effective until the network changes.
The List of Static Routes displays all routes that have been added manually by an
administrator and allows several operations on the static routes. The List of IPv4
Static Routes and List of IPv6 Static Routes share the same fields (with one
exception):

Name: Name of the route, for identification and management .

Active: Determines whether the route is active or inactive. A route can be
added to the table and made inactive, if not needed . This allows routes to be
used as needed without deleting and re-adding the entry. An inactive route is
not broadcast if RIP is enabled.

Private: Determines whether the route can be shared with other routers when
RIP is enabled. If the route is made private, then the route will not be shared
in a RIP broadcast or multicast. This is only applicable for IPv4 static
routes.

Destination: the route will lead to this destination host or IP address.

IP Subnet Mask: This is valid for IPv4 networks only, and identifies the
subnet that is affected by this static route

Interface: The physical network interface (WAN1, WAN2, DMZ or LAN),
through which this route is accessible.

Gateway: IP address of the gateway through which the destination host or
network can be reached.

Metric: Determines the priority of the route. If multiple routes to the same
destination exist, the route with the lowest metric is chosen.
