LABEL 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.
