• Interface Type: Choose PPP (vcc1) – depending on the inter face; typically vcc1 for
DSL – or IP Address from the pull-down menu to specify whether the static route is
accessible through PPP or IP address.
• Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway for the static route. The default gateway
must be located on a network connected to your Netopia Gateway configured inter face.
• Metric: Specifies the hop count for the static route. Enter a number from 1 to 15 to indi-
cate the number of routes (actual or best guess) a packet must traverse to reach the
remote network. Some metric or a value of 1 will be used to indicate:
• The remote network is one router away and the static route is the best way to
reach it.
• The remote network is more than one router away but the static route should not
be replaced by a dynamic route, even if the dynamic route is more efficient.
• RIP Advertise: From the pull-down menu, choose how the static route should be adver-
tised via RIP:
• Split Horizon: Do not adver tise route if the gateway is on the same subnet.
• Always: Adver tise route in all RIP messages.
• Never: Do not adver tise route.
