Table 20-1 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. Follow the discussion on IP Subnet
Mask in this manual.
Gateway IP Address Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of
your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN, the
gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
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.
