FIELD DESCRIPTION
Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.
Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP
Address
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.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ZyXEL Device that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your ZyXEL Device; over the
WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the ZyXEL Device’s
routes (see Section 5.2 on page 63 ). The smaller the number, the higher priority the
route has.
Private This parameter determines if the ZyXEL Device will include the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes , this route is kept private and not included
in RIP broadcast. If No , the route to this remote node will be propagated to other
hosts through RIP broadcasts.
Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to
Confirm…” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
