Prestige 1100 Internet Access Router

The following table shows the TCP/IP related fields in Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer

Options.

Table 5-2 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration

Field

Description

Option

 

 

 

Rem IP Address

This shows the IP address you entered for this remote node in

 

 

the previous menu, Remote Node Profile.

 

 

 

 

Rem IP Subnet

Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.

 

Mask

 

 

 

 

 

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 1100.

 

 

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige

 

 

1100, not the remote router.

 

 

(See Figure 5-3 for an explanation of [My WAN Addr] with

 

 

Sample IP Addresses)

 

 

 

 

Single User

Set this field to [Yes] to enable the Single User Account feature

[Yes/No]

Account

for your Prestige 1100. Use the space bar to toggle between

 

 

[Yes] and [No].

 

 

 

 

Metric

The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing

[1] to [15]

 

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

 

 

[16]. In practice, [2] or [3] is usually a good number.

 

 

 

 

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige 1100 will include the

[Yes/No]

 

route to 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.
