Add/Edit Route
Adds a new route to the IP routing table or edits an existing route.
Enable
Specifies whether the entry will be enabled or disabled.
Destination IP
The IP address of packets that will take this route.
Netmask
One bits in the mask specify which bits of the IP address must match.
Gateway
Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no
next hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface
specified: LAN or WAN.
Metric
The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route. A value of 1
is the lowest cost, and 15 is the highest cost. A value of 16 indicates that the route is not
reachable from this router. When trying to reach a particular destination, computers on your
network will select the best route, ignoring unreachable routes.
Interface
Specifies the interface -- LAN or WAN -- that the IP packet must use to transit out of the router,
when this route is used.
