Metric Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP. See
Chapter 7 on page 85 for more information.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". The smaller the
metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count as the measurement of cost,
where 1 is for a directly-connected network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a
value higher than 15, the routers assume the link is down.
Private Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP. See
Chapter 7 on page 85 for more information.
This field determines whether or not the ZyXEL Device includes the route to this
