9-4 Static Route Screens
Table 9-2 Edit IP Static Route
LABEL DESCRIPTION
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 Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
ZyWALL that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must
be a router on the same segment as your ZyWALL; 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.
Private This parameter determines if the ZyWALL 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.
