DESCRIPTION
Destination IP 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.
Subnet Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP
Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop
gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your
NXC's interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their
destinations.
Interface
Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the
traffic is sent.
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 need not be precise, but it must be 0~127.
In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
