Remote Node Network Layer Options for a TCP/IP Configuration

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

Rem IP Address

This will show the IP address you entered for this remote node in the

 

 

previous menu.

 

 

 

Rem IP Subnet

 

Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.

Mask

 

 

 

 

 

My WAN Addr

 

Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require hosts on

 

 

both ends of the link to have separate addresses from the LAN, and that the

 

 

addresses must have the same network number. If this is the case, enter

 

 

the IP address assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige.

 

 

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the remote

 

 

router. Please see Figure 5-3 for an explanation of My WAN Addr. With

 

 

Sample IP Addresses.

 

 

 

Single User

 

This field should be set to [Yes] to enable the Single User Account (Network

Account

 

Address Translation) feature for this site. Use the space bar to toggle

 

 

between [Yes] and [No]. See Chapter 3 - Internet Access Application for

 

 

more information on the Single User Account feature.

 

 

Server IP address

If you are using the Single User Account feature and you want to make a

 

 

server on your LAN (for example, a Web server) accessible to outside

 

 

users, enter that servers IP address here.

 

 

 

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 [16]. 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 broadcast. If [No], the route to this remote node will

 

 

be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
