LABEL DESCRIPTION
IP Version Select the IP version to use for this static route’s traffic.
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.
Destination IP
address/prefix
length
If IPv6 is selected as the IP version, this parameter specifies the IPv6
network address and prefix length of the final destination. Routing is
always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a
single host, use the prefix length of 128 to force the network number to
be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet
Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Use Interface Select a WAN interface through which the traffic is sent. You must have
the WAN interface(s) already configured in the WAN screens.
Use Gateway
IP Address
Select this option and enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The
gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your Device's
interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their destinations.
