Netopia 2200 manual

•Interface Type: Choose PPP (vcc1) – depending on the interface; typically vcc1 for DSL – or IP Address from the pull-down menu to specify whether the static route is accessible through PPP or IP address.

•Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway for the static route. The default gateway must be located on a network connected to your Netopia Gateway configured interface.

•Metric: Specifies the hop count for the static route. Enter a number from 1 to 15 to indi- cate the number of routes (actual or best guess) a packet must traverse to reach the remote network. Some metric or a value of 1 will be used to indicate:

•The remote network is one router away and the static route is the best way to reach it.

•The remote network is more than one router away but the static route should not be replaced by a dynamic route, even if the dynamic route is more efficient.

•RIP Advertise: From the pull-down menu, choose how the static route should be adver- tised via RIP:

•Split Horizon: Do not advertise route if the gateway is on the same subnet.

•Always: Advertise route in all RIP messages.

•Never: Do not advertise route.

Click the Submit button. The Alert icon will appear, so that you can switch to the Save Changes page, when you are finished.

Once you save your changes, you will be returned to the IP Static Routes entry screen.

•You can continue to Add, Edit, or Delete Static Routes from this screen.
