Table 7-6 WAN Backup Setup
Type the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation. The
Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige's Internet
connection terminates.
Select this check box to turn on dial backup. Enabled displays on the preceding
WAN Functions screen (see Figure 7-2).
This field sets this route's priority between the two backup routes the Prestige
uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses
hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly
connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the
"cost".
