Destination

The destination IP addresses and network masks of packets that the FortiProxy unit intercepts.

The IP addresses of the next-hop routers to which intercepted packets are forwarded.

Interface

The interface or port number the static route is configured to.

Status

The static route is either enabled or disabled.

Distance

The number of hops the static route has to the configured gateway. Routes with the same distance will be considered as equal-cost multi-path (ECMP)
