The next table gives you instructions about configuring remote node network layer options.

Table 4-5 Remote Node Network Layer Options Menu Fields

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

IP Address

If your ISP did not assign you an explicit IP address, select Dynamic;

Dynamic

Assignment

otherwise select Static and enter the IP address & subnet mask in the

 

 

following fields.

 

Rem IP Address

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to

192.168.1.1

 

the remote node.

 

Rem IP Subnet

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned

255.255.255.0

Mask

to the remote node.

 

 

 

 

My WAN Addr

Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require the

 

 

WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the LAN and

 

 

each end must have a unique address within the WAN 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.

 

 

 

 

Network

Use the [SPACE BAR] to select either Full Feature, None or SUA

SUA Only

Address

Only. See the NAT chapter for a full discussion on this feature.

Metric

The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes.

1 to 15

 

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

Yes

 

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

Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP direction. Options are:

None

 

Both, None, In Only, Out Only or None. Please see the RIP Setup

(default)

 

section for more information on RIP. The default for RIP on the

 

 

WAN side is None. It is recommended that you do not change this

 

 

setting.
