Prestige P645 ADSL Internet Access Router

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

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 15. 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

 

broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts

 

through RIP broadcasts.

 

 

Once you have completed filling in the Edit IP Static Route, press [ENTER] to return to menu 12.1. Press [ENTER] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
