LABEL DESCRIPTION
Route Name
Enter the name of the static route.
Active
Select this if you want the static route to be used. Clear this if you do not want the
static route to be used.
Private
Select this if you do not want the WiMAX Modem to tell other routers about this
static route. For example, you might select this if the static route is in your LAN.
Clear this if you want the WiMAX Modem to tell other routers about this static
route.
Destination IP
Address
Enter one of the destination IP addresses that this static route affects.
IP Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask that defines the range of destination IP addresses that this
static route affects. If this static route affects only one IP address, enter
255.255.255.255.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway to which the WiMAX Modem should send
packets for the specified Destination. The gateway is a router or a switch on the
same network segment as the device's LAN or WAN port. The gateway helps
forward packets to their destinations.
Metric
Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP.
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
metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count as the measurement of cost,
where 1 is for a directly-connected network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a
value higher than 15, the routers assume the link is down.
