Table 7-2. Menu 11.3 Remote Node Network Layer Options Fields

Field

Description

 

 

Rem IP Address

This read-only field shows the IP address you entered for this remote node in the

 

previous menu.

 

 

Rem Subnet Mask

This field will display the standard class netmask for the network address of the

 

remote router. If the remote network uses a netmask other than the standard

 

class netmask, you must enter the netmask here.

 

 

My WAN Addr

Some network implementations require hosts on both ends of the ISDN link to

 

have separate addresses from the LAN, and these addresses must have the

 

same network number. If this situation, known as numbered links, applies to your

 

network, enter the IP address in this field that is assigned to the WAN port of your

 

router. This is the address assigned to the local router, not the remote router.

 

 

Single User Account

If this field is set to Yes, the router performs NAT (IP Address Masquerading)

 

to this node. See “Single IP Address Operation Using NAT” on page 1-13 for

 

information about the Single User Account feature. The default is No.

 

 

Single User Account:

If you have selected Single User Account and want to make your local server

Server IP Addr

accessible to outside users, enter the IP address of that server here. Incoming

 

packets with destination port numbers not handled by the router will be forwarded

 

to this server address.

 

 

Metric

The Metric field 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 in this field that approximates the

 

cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and

 

16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

 

 

Private

This field determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its RIP

 

broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any RIP

 

broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to other hosts

 

through RIP broadcasts.
