Metric The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing
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 15. In practice, 2 or
3 is usually a good number. 1 to 15
Private This 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
broadcasts. Yes/No

protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group. The
Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2.

disable it. Please see Part 1 for more information on these two
fields. IGMP-v1

IP Policies Create policies using SMT Menu 25 (see the IP Policy Routing
chapter in Part 3) and apply them on the Prestige LAN interface
here. You can apply up to four IP Policy sets (from twelve) by
entering their numbers here separated by commas, e.g., 2, 4, 7,
9.
Once you have completed filling in the Network Layer Options Menu, press [ENTER] to return to Menu 11.
Press [ENTER] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at
any time to cancel.
5.1.2 Static Route Setup
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means.
This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is
directly connected to a remote node.
