Remote IP Address

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gateway/Remote IP

Enter the gateway IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field if you selected

 

 

Address

Use Fixed IP Address.

 

 

Network Address

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

 

 

Translation

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-Oneand

 

 

 

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 the NAT chapter in this User's Guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Metric (PPPoE and

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

 

 

PPTP only)

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 (PPPoE and

This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node

 

 

PPTP only)

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.
