Prestige 643 ADSL Router
5-6 Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration
FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Private This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route
to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. Choose Yes to keep
this route private and not include in RIP broadcast. Choose No
to propagate this remote node to other hosts through RIP
broadcasts. No
RIP Direction
Version
Press [ SPACE BAR ] to select the RIP Direction. Choices are
Both, In Only, Out Only or None.
Press [

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.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected and the Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond it. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the
following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it does not know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2).
The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
