Destination IP
Address Address that route will lead to. To configure a default route, type "default" for this
parameter, otherwise enter 0.0.0.0 in both this and the next parameter.
Both Examples -- for the static route between Router 1 and Network 3, the IP
address is 192.168.100.0.
Subnet Mask Both Examples -- To access all hosts in Network 3, its mask, 255.255.255.0, is used.
Gateway or Interface Example 1 -- the route is to a gateway.
Example 2 -- the route is to an interface since unnumbered interfaces are being
used.
Gateway IP Address Applies only when previous parameter is Gateway. It must be an address visible to
the router. In Example 1, it is 142.10.0.4.
Interface Applies only when previous parameter is Interface. Select the port (Ethernet or slot
N) that will be unnumbered. In Example 2, it is Slot 1.
Metric Relative cost of this link. Generally measured in number of routers between two IP
addresses. Both Examples -- 1.

Route? Indicates that this route is used as a backup in a multilink circuit. See section 4.4 for
more information about multilink circuits.
OSPF Advertises
This Static Route Static routes defined in the router can be advertised by OSPF. Both this parameter
and the parameter CONFIG=>IP=>OSPF=>GLOBAL=>ADVERTISE STATIC

metric of this route is composed of the internal metric (inside the autonomous system)
and the external metric (provided in the previous parameter). For
Type 2, the total
metric of this route is the value provided in the previous parameter.
