Edit IP Static Route
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
Route Name
Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.
Active
Select this check box to activate this static route.
Destination IP
Address
Type 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.
IP Subnet Mask
Type the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP
Address
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your 1500WR Wireless
Router that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on
the same segment as your 1500WR Wireless Router; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP
address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric
Type a number that approximates the cost for this link. 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. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15.
In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private
This parameter determines if the 1500WR Wireless Router will include the route to this remote node
in its RIP broadcasts. If this check box is selected, this route is kept private and not included in
RIP broadcast. If it is not selected, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
