Description
This will show the IP address you entered for this remote node in the
previous menu.
Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.
Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require hosts on
both ends of the link to have separate addresses from the LAN, and that the
addresses must have the same network number. If this is the case, enter
the IP address assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige.
Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the remote
router. Please see Figure 5-3 for an explanation of My WAN Addr. With
Sample IP Addresses.
This field should be set to [Yes] to enable the Single User Account (Network
Address Translation) feature for this site. Use the space bar to toggle
between [Yes] and [No]. See Chapter 3 - Internet Access Application for
more information on the Single User Account feature.
If you are using the Single User Account feature and you want to make a
server on your LAN (for example, a Web server) accessible to outside
users, enter that servers IP address here.
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.
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.
