of the router. Choose this menu and you can see the next sub-

Route: Routing conguration
Click the Route sub-menu in the left pane. The Routing
Conguration page opens. On this page, you can enable static
routes, congure routing information, and add and delete IP routes.
• Destination: Species the IP network address of the nal destination.
• Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask for this destination.
• Next Hop: Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway
is an immediate neighbour of your Router that will forward the
packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a
router on the same segment as your Router; over Internet (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
needs not to be precise, but it must between 1 and 15. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
• Interface: The WAN interface to which a static route is to be applied.
• The Static Route Table shows the current static route entries.
