When set to No, the route will take effect only when a network change occurs on the configured interface. For exam‐
ple, if the configured interface is eth1, then the route will be assigned only when eth1 has a network change to an
active state.
Select Route Type: Select the type of route to be created by choosing one of the available options from the provided
drop‐down list. The choices are Host or Network.
Select Host to create a route to a specific device. This will require setting the Target IP Address and Gateway parame‐
ters.
Select Network to create a route to a remote network. This will require setting the Network IP Address, Netmask and
Gateway parameters.
Enter Target IP Address (Required): Enter the IP Address of the destination host to which the route should be created.
Enter Gateway (Required): Enter the IP Address of the gateway for the specified host or network. A gateway is a
device (typically a router) used to gain access to another network.
For example, if a device is attached to a LAN whose a network address is 192.168.1.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0,
than it can communicate directly with any other device on that network with a range of addresses of 192.168.1.1
through 192.168.1.254 (with 192.168.1.255 reserved for a broadcast). An address outside of that range is on a differ‐
ent network which would need to be accessed indirectly through a router and that router would be the gateway to the
network on which the remote target device resides. In order to communicate with it, it would mean sending and
receiving via the gateway device. The address must be one within the valid range for the network on which the desig‐
nated interface resides.
Enter Metric: Enter a value for the route metric in this field. Recommended value is 0.
