The following table describes the fields for Menu 12.1 - Edit IP Static Route Setup.
Table 5-3 Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields
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. Follow the discussion on IP Subnet Mask in
this manual.
Gateway IP
Address
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ZyAIR that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a
router on the same segment as your ZyAIR; 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 ZyAIR 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.
