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 Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the

gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; 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.

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes back to the Prestige.
