Router Metric:
The additional cost of the routing a packet through this router. The normal value for a simple network is 1. This metric is
added to routes learned from other routers; it is not added to static or system routes.
Act as default router:
Make this router the preferred destination for packets that are not otherwise destined.
Allow RIP updates

from WAN:
RIP Password:
RIP Version 2 supports the use of a password to limit access to routers through the RIP protocol. If the ISP or other LAN
router requires a RIP password, enter the password here.
Verify RIP Password:
Re-enter the password.
Enable IGMP:
IGMP must be enabled if any applications on the LAN participate in a multicast group. If you have a multimedia LAN
application that is not receiving content as expected, try enabling IGMP.
DNS Relay:
When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to
the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains
a different DNS server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay
if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server.
