Reference Guide for the Model RT328 and Model RH348 ISDN Routers

TCP/IP Configuration 7-5

Table 7-3 lists and describes the ﬁelds for Menu 12.1 - Edit IP Static Route.

Table 7-3. Edit IP Static Route Menu Fields

Field Description

Route Name Enter a descriptive name for this route for identiﬁcation purposes only.

Active This ﬁeld allows you to activate or deactivate this static route.

Destination IP Address This ﬁeld 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. For more information about setting

IP subnet masks, see “Subnet Addressing” on page 1-10.

Gateway IP Address Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor

of the router that forwards the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the

gateway must be a router on the same segment as the router. Over ISDN, the

gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.

Metric The Metric ﬁeld represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP

routing uses hop counts 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 does not have to be precise, but it must be between 1

and 16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Private This ﬁeld determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its

RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any

RIP broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to

other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
