IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP
Address Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate
neighbor of your device that will forward the packet to the
destination. The gateway must be a router on the same segment as
your device.
Metric 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.
Add Click Add to save the new rule to the IES-1248-51V’s volatile
memory. It then displays in the summary table at the bottom of the
screen. The IES-1248-51V loses these changes if it is turned off or
loses power, so use the Config Save link on the navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done
configuring.
