LABEL DESCRIPTION
Route Name Enter the name of the static route.
Active Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do not want the

Destination IP
Address
Enter one of the destination IP addresses that this static route affects.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask that defines the range of destination IP addresses that this
static route affects. If this static route affects only one IP address, enter
255.255.255.255.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway to which the ZyXEL Device should send
packets for the specified Destination. The gateway is a router or a switch on the
same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps
forward packets to their destinations.
Metric Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP. See
Chapter 7 on page 85 for more information.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". The smaller the
metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count as the measurement of cost,
where 1 is for a directly-connected network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a
value higher than 15, the routers assume the link is down.
