Field Description Option
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
[16]. In practice, [2] or [3] is usually a good number. [1] to [16]
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]
RIP This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP
(Routing Information Protocol), and the default is [Both].
If set to [Both], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on
the WAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by the other router
into its routing table.
If set to [In Only], your Prestige will not broadcast its routing
table on the WAN.
If set to [Out Only], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table
but ignores any RIP broadcast packets that it receives.
If set to [None], your Prestige will not participate in any RIP
exchange with other routers.
Usually, you should leave this parameter at its default of [Both]
and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
