11.2.1.1 An Example of Adding a Static Route
In order to extend your Intranet and control traffic flowing directions, you may connect a router to the
Zyxel Device’s LAN. The router may be used to separate two department networks. This tutorial shows
how to configure a static routing rule for two network routings.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select Enable to activate your static route.
Route Name Assign a name for your static route (up to 15 characters). Special characters are allowed
except the following: double quote (") back quote (`) apostrophe or single quote (') less than
(<) greater than (>) caret or circumflex accent (^) dollar sign ($) vertical bar (|) ampersand (&)
semicolon (;)
IP Type Select between IPv4 or IPv6. Compared to IPv4, IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), is designed to
enhance IP address size and features. The increase in IPv6 address size to 128 bits (from the 32-
bit IPv4 address) allows up to 3.4 x 1038 IP addresses. The Zyxel Device can use IPv4/IPv6 dual
stack to connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks, and supports IPv6 rapid deployment (6RD).
Destination IP
Address
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
If you are using IPv4 and 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. Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Use Gateway IP
Address
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.
Click this switch to enable or disable the gateway IP address. When the switch goes to the right,
the function is enabled. Otherwise, it is not.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway.
User Interface Select the WAN interface you want to use for this static route.
