Gateway IP
Address
Enter 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.
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 between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good
number.
Private
This parameter determines if the ZyWALL will include this route to a remote node in
its RIP broadcasts.
Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP broadcasts.
Clear this check box to propagate this route to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
