The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 75 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Route Name Enter the name of the IP static route. Leave this field blank to delete
this static route.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static
route without having to delete the entry.
Private This parameter determines if the NBG-460N will include this route to a
remote node in its RIP broadcasts.
Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP
broadcasts. Clear this checkbox to propagate this route to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
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 Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate
neighbor of your NBG-460N that will forward the packet to the
destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same
segment as your NBG-460N; over the 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 be precise, but it must be
between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
