- Gateway – The gateway IP address. E.g.,
2001:db8:6299::ffff
- Trust Level – Select the trust level. Use Untrusted for WAN connections,
- Route Metric – Enter the preference for the route. When two identical routes are present, the route with the lower preference is used.

Step 2. Activate the network configuration
After you have configured the network route, you must activate your new network configuration.
