Table 9-4 Remote Node Network Layer Options Menu Fields

 

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

If your ISP did not assign you an explicit IP address, select

Dynamic

 

 

Assignment

Dynamic; otherwise select Static and enter the IP address & subnet

 

 

 

 

mask in the following fields.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rem IP

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to

 

 

 

Address

you by your ISP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rem IP

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned

 

 

 

Subnet

to you.

 

 

 

Mask

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gateway IP

This field is applicable to Ethernet encapsulation only. Enter the

 

 

 

Addr

gateway IP address assigned to you if you are using a static IP

 

 

 

 

address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My WAN

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the gateway IP address

 

 

 

Addr

assigned to you.

 

 

 

My WAN

This field is applicable to PPPoE and PPTP encapsulations only.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the

 

 

 

 

remote router.

 

 

 

Network

Use the [SPACE BAR] to select either Full Feature, None or SUA

SUA Only

 

 

Address

Only. See the NAT chapter for a full discussion of this feature.

 

 

 

Translation

 

 

 

 

Metric

This field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. The metric

3

 

 

 

represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. RIP

 

 

 

 

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 field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. This

Yes

 

 

 

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 broadcast. If No, the route to this

 

 

 

 

remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP
