4.4.1 Metric

The metric sets the priority for the Prestige's routes to the Internet. If any two of the routes have the same
metric, the Prestige uses the following pre-defined priorities:
1. Normal route: designated by the ISP or a static route
2. Traffic-redirect route
IP Policy Routing overrides the default routing behavior and takes priority over all
of the routes mentioned above (see the IP Policy Routing chapter).
For example, if the normal route has a metric of "1" and the traffic-redirect route has a metric of "2", then
the normal route acts as the primary default route. If the normal route fails to connect to the Internet, the
Prestige tries the traffic-redirect route next.
To configure the parameters for traffic redirect, enter 11 from the main menu to display Menu 11.1–
Remote Node Profile as shown next.
