DI-1162 Remote Access Router
40 Configuration and Management
The parameters are described below:
•
IP Address – this specifies the destination network IP address (or
a host, depending on the netmask) and pairs it with a gateway.
•
Netmask – this mask shows how the destination IP address is to be
divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has ones
in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used for
the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.
•
Gateway – this is the adjacent next hop router, for which the
packets, arriving to this router with this destination IP address, will
be forwarded.
•
Hops – this is an associated RIP metric that may have its value set
between 1 and 15, inclusive. A metric value higher than 15 (such
as 16) means that the network is unreachable.
•
Intf [Interface] – this is the network interface containing the
gateway that the packets will be forwarded through.
•
State – this enables/disables a particular entry.
