Table 102 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. See

Section 5.4.2 on page 81

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.
