Chapter 18 Static Route

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.
