DESCRIPTION

 

 

Remote IP Address

This field is available if you selected PPPoE encapsulation. Enter the remote

 

IP Address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.

Remote IP Subnet

This field is available if you selected PPPoE encapsulation. Enter the remote

Mask

IP Address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.

Network Address

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet

Translation

protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address

 

used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network

 

(for example a public IP address used on the Internet).

 

Choose None to disable NAT.

 

Choose SUA Only if you have a single public IP address. SUA (Single User

 

Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping: Many-to-One

 

and Server.

 

Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public IP addresses. Full Feature

 

mapping types include: One-to-One, Many-to-One(SUA/PAT), Many-to-

 

Many Overload, Many- One-to-One and Server. When you select Full

 

Feature you must configure at least one address mapping set!

 

For more information about NAT refer to Chapter 12 on page 128.

 

 

Metric

This field is available if you selected PPPoE encapsulation. It 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".

Private

This field is available if you selected PPPoE encapsulation. It 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 broadcast. If No, the

 

route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP

 

broadcasts.

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing

 

information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending

 

and receiving of RIP packets.

 

Choose Both, None, In Only or Out Only.

 

When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table

 

periodically.

 

When set to Both or In Only, the Prestige will incorporate RIP information that

 

it receives.

 

When set to None, the Prestige will not send any RIP packets and will ignore

 

any RIP packets received.

 

By default, RIP Direction is set to Both.
