Prestige P645 ADSL Internet Access Router

Table 5-2 TCP/IP Remote Node Configuration

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

Rem IP Address

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

172.16.0.2

 

the previous menu.

 

 

 

 

Rem IP Subnet

Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.

255.255.255.0

Mask

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

Press the [SPACE BAR] to select Static for a fixed IP address

Dynamic

Assignment

given by an ISP or Dynamic for the IP address to be assigned

 

 

automatically by a server each time the remote node logs on.

 

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

 

 

WAN, not the remote router. If the remote router is a Prestige,

 

 

then this entry determines the local Prestige Rem IP Address in

 

 

menu 11.1 (see Table 5-1).

 

 

 

 

Single User

Use the [SPACE BAR] to select either Yes or No. Set this field to

No

Account

Yes to enable the Single User Account feature for your Prestige.

 

 

See the section on Internet access for more information on the

 

 

Single User Account feature.

 

 

 

 

Metric

The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing

2

 

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 15. In practice, 2 or

 

 

3 is usually a good number.

 

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to

No

 

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 Direction

Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP direction from Both/In

Both

 

Only/Out Only or None.

(default)

Version=

Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP version from RIP-

RIP-1

 

1/RIP-2B/RIP-2M.
