Table 8-1 Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields
Field Description Options
Route # This is the index number of the route as listed in Menu
12 - IP Static Route Setup.
Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for
identification purpose only.
Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static
route. Yes/No
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 subnet mask for this destination. Follow the
discussion on IP subnet mask in this chapter.
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
WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the
remote nodes.
Metric The 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. 1 to 15
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige 1600 will
include the route to this remote node in its RIP
broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and
not included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this
remote node will be propagated to other hosts through
RIP broadcasts. Yes/No
