LABEL DESCRIPTION
IP Version This displays whether the entry uses IPv4 or IPv6.
DstIP/
PrefixLength
This specifies the IP network address and prefix length of the final destination. Routing is
always based on network number.
Gateway This is the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same
network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps forward packets to
their destinations.
Interface This is the interface this static route uses to forward traffic for the listed destination
address.
Metric The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for
transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". The smaller the number, the lower
the "cost".
