Routing
Add/Edit Route

Specifies whether the entry will be enabled or disabled.
The IP address or network that the packets will be attempting to access
Note: 192.168.1.0 with a Netmask of 255.255.255.0 means traffic will be
routed to the entire 192.168.1.x network.
Used to specify which portion of the Destination IP signifies the network
trying to be accessed and which part signifies the host that the packets
will be routed to
Note: 255.255.255.255 is used to signify only the host that was entered in
the Destination IP field.
Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of
0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly
connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN.
Specifies the interface, LAN or WAN, that the IP packet must use to transit
out of the router when this route is used.
The amount of hops it will take to reach the Destination IP or network. A
hop is considered to be traffic passing through a router from one network to
another. If there is only one router between your network and the Destination
network, then the Metric value would be 1.
