Use metric n when the interface is not active
The value in this text box specifies the routing metric to use when the interface is not
active.
Use this route only if the source IP address of the packet matches
When this checkbox is checked, the following two parameters are enabled.
IP Address a.b.c.d
If necessary, these IP Address and Mask parameters may be used to further qualify the way
in which the router routes packets. If the values in this text box and the following Mask
parameter are set, the source address of the packet being routed must match these
parameters before the packet will be routed through the specified interface.
Mask a.b.c.d
The value in this text box specifies the netmask that is used in conjunction with the IP
address as explained above.
Include this route in RIP advertisements
When checked, this checkbox will cause the router to include this static route to be included
in RIP advertisements.
Make PPP n interface use the alternative idle timeout when this route becomes
available
When checked, this check box, in conjunction with the PPP interface instance number in the
text box will cause the router to use the alternative inactivity timeout specified for that
interface when this route comes back into service. This feature is useful when it is
preferable to close down a backup route quickly when a primary route comes back into
service.
Wait for s seconds after power up before allowing this route to activate the
interface
The value in this text box specifies the delay that the router should wait after power-up
before packets matching this route will initiate a connection of the interface configured in
the route. It is typically used on W-WAN routers that have ISDN backup in order to prevent
unnecessary ISDN connections from being made whilst a W-WAN connection is first being
established.
Mark this route as “Out of Service” in the interface fails to connect after n
consecutive attempts
Normally, if an interface is requested to connect by a route and fails to connect, the route
metric is set to 16 for the period of time specified by the Mark a static route as “Out Of
Service” for s seconds parameter on the Configuration – Network > IP
Routing/Forwarding > IP Routing page. If the value in this text box is non-zero, the
route metric will not be set to 16 until the number of connection attempts specified by this
parameter have been made.
