Gateway IP

Address

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same

network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward

packets to their destinations.

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 ZyXEL Device 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 check box to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
