setup. The default is No

Configuration

 

 

 

Backup Gateway

Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.

IP Address

The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige’s

 

Internet connection terminates.

Metric

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.

 

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route

 

for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop

 

count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected

 

networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15"

 

means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost"

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
