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.

 

 

Add

Click Add to save the new rule to the IES-612-51A’s volatile memory. It then

 

displays in the summary table at the bottom of the screen. The IES-612-51A

 

loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Config Save

 

link on the navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory

 

when you are done configuring.
