?? Hops – this is an associated RIP metric that may have its value set
between 1 and 15, inclusive. A metric value higher than 15 (such
as 16) means that the network is unreachable.
?? Intf [Interface] – this is the network interface containing the
gateway that the packets will be forwarded through.
?? State – this enables/disables a particular entry.
IP Static Route Examples
The IP Static Route Table shown in the example IP Static Route screen
above has the first three entries configured for common implementations
of static routing.
The first entry assumes that ISDN1 has a connection to the Internet and
defines the default next hop router. If you use this router to connect to
the Internet it is very important that you create an entry here that defines
the default next hop router as your ISP. This configuration is also
commonly used when RIP exchanges with other Internet routers (on
ISDN1) are disabled.
The second entry shows how to configure static routes when there is
another router on the LAN. The IP Address shown (202.12.125.0) is
the network address for a branch office, for example. The Gateway
Address (210.172.23.1) is the IP address to the LAN port on another
router on the LAN that maintains an ISDN connection to the branch
office.
The third entry is an example of an enterprise ISDN connection
(through telephone lines) to another router, at a branch office for
example. The IP Address is the network address of the branch office.
The Gateway Address is the IP Address of the ISDN port on the
