Route
Routing configuration:
Click the
Route
sub-menu in the left pane. The
Static Route
page is opened
automatically. You can configure the routing information such as adding and
deleting IP routes.
Destination
: This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final
destination.
Subnet Mask
: Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Next Hop
: Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an
immediate neighbour of your Router that will forward the packet to the
destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same
segment as your Router; over Internet (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. Enter a number that approximates the
cost for this link. The number needs not to be precise, but it must between
1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Interface
: The WAN interface to which a static route is to be applied.
The
Static Route Table
shows the current static route entries.
