Prestige P645 ADSL Internet Access Router
5-10 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Metric The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses
hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected
networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need
not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good
number.
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node in
its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in RIP
broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
Once you have completed filling in the Edit IP Static Route, press [ENTER] to return to menu 12.1. Press
[ENTER] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any
time to cancel.
