Chapter 16 Static Route 16.3.1 Static Route Setup Screen To edit a static route, click the edit icon under Modify. The following screen displays. Fill in the required information for each static route. Figure 134 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 72 Management > Static Route > IP Static Route: Static Route Setup LABEL DESCRIPTION Route Name Enter the name of the IP static route. Leave this field blank to delete this static route. Active This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route. Private Select this to enable the static route. Clear this to disable this static route without having to delete the entry. This parameter determines if the NBG-460N will include this route to a remote node in its RIP broadcasts. Destination IP Address IP Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address Metric Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP broadcasts. Clear this checkbox to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. 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. Enter the IP subnet mask here. Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NBG-460N that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NBG-460N; over the WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the Remote Nodes. 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. NBG-460N User's Guide 219
