|
|
Metric |
| The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing | [1] to [16] |
|
| 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 | [Yes/No] |
|
| 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
RIP |
| This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP | (Default=Both) |
|
| (Routing Information Protocol), and the default is [Both]. |
|
|
| If set to [Both], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on | [Both] |
|
| the WAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by the other router |
|
|
| into its routing table. |
|
|
| If set to [In Only], your Prestige will not broadcast its routing | [In Only] |
|
| table on the WAN. |
|
|
|
| [Out Only] |
|
| If set to [Out Only], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table |
|
|
| but ignores any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. |
|
|
| If set to [None], your Prestige will not participate in any RIP | [None] |
|
|
| |
|
| exchange with other routers. |
|
|
| Usually, you should leave this parameter at its default of [Both] |
|
|
| and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically. |
