Table 14-2 Menu 11.3 Remote Node Network Layer Options

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

IP Address

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Dynamic if the remote

Dynamic

Assignment

node is using a dynamically assigned IP address or Static if it is using a

 

 

static (fixed) IP address. You will only be able to configure this in the ISP

 

 

node (also the one you configure in menu 4). All other nodes are set to

 

 

Static.

 

Rem IP Addr

This is the IP address you entered in the previous menu.

 

 

 

 

Rem Subnet

Type the subnet mask assigned to the remote node.

 

Mask

 

 

 

 

 

My WAN

Some implementations, especially UNIX derivatives, require separate IP

 

Addr

network numbers for the WAN and LAN links and each end to have a

 

 

unique address within the WAN network number. In that case, type the IP

 

 

address assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige.

 

 

 

Refers to local Prestige address, not the remote

 

 

 

 

router address.

 

 

 

 

 

NAT

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Full Feature if you have

SUA Only

 

multiple public WAN IP addresses for your Prestige.

 

 

Select SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your

 

 

Prestige. The SMT uses Address Mapping Set 255 (menu 15.1 - see

 

 

section Error! Reference source not found.).

 

 

Select None to disable NAT.

 

 

 

 

Address

When SUA Only is selected in the NAT field, the SMT uses NAT server

1

Mapping Set

set 1 in menu 15.2 (see the NAT chapter for details).

 

Metric

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

2

 

routing uses hop count as the cost measurement, with a minimum of 1 for

 

 

directly connected networks. Type 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 determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node in

No

 

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 [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP Direction.

None

Direction

Options are Both, In Only, Out Only or None.
