[Static Route]
Select this option to set Static Routing information.
Destination IP Address: This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final
destination of packets routed by this rule.
IP Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of the gateway. A gateway does the actual
forwarding of the packets. Enter the gateway’s IP address in the field or select which PVC you
wish to act as a gateway.
The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your ADSL 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 need not to be precise, but it must
between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
