The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1.1 – Edit IP Static Route Setup .
Table 48 Menu12.1.1 Edit IP Static Route
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Route # This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.1.
Route Name Type a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purpose 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 Type the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the
same network segment as the device’s LAN or WAN port. The gateway
helps forward packets to their destinations.
Metric 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. Type 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.
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes , this route is kept private and is not
included in RIP broadcasts. If No , the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
