ZyXEL Communications Prestige 643 - Manual (Page 81)

Prestige 643 ADSL Router
Remote Node TCP/IP Configuration 5-9
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Destination IP Address This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to
a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field
to force the network number to be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for this destination. See IP Subnet Mask.
Gateway IP Address Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor
of your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN,
the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over
WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
Metric 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.
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 is not
included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.
