FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Metric

The metric represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses

 

hop count as the cost measurement, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected

 

networks. Type 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 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

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP Direction. Options are Both,

 

In Only, Out Only or None.

Version

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP version. Options are RIP-1,

 

RIP-2B or RIP-2M.

Multicast

IGMP-v1sets IGMP to version 1, IGMP-v2sets IGMP to version 2 and None disables

 

IGMP.

IP Policies

You can apply up to four IP Policy sets (from 12) by typing in their numbers separated

 

by commas. Configure the filter sets in menu 25 first (see Chapter 34 on page 298)

 

and then apply them here.

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel:” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
