Advanced_Routing
Add/Edit Route
Adds a new route to the IP routing table or edits an existing route.
Enable: Specifies whether the entry will be enabled or disabled.
Destination IP: The IP address of packets that will take this route.
Netmask:
One bits in the mask specify which bits of the IP address must match.
Gateway: 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.
Interface: Specifies the interface -- LAN or WAN -- that the IP packet must use to transit out of
the router, when this route is used.
Metric: The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route. A
value of 1 is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16 indicates that the route is
not reachable from this router. When trying to reach a particular destination, computers on your
network will select the best route, ignoring unreachable routes.
Save:
Saves the new or edited route in the following list. When finished updating the routing
table, you must still click the Save Settings button at the top of the page to make the changes
effective and permanent.
