DESCRIPTION
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 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good
number.
This parameter determines if the ZyWALL will include this route to a remote node in

Select this check box to keep this route private and not included in RIP broadcasts.
