Prestige 681 SDSL Router
Field
Description
Single User Account feature.
Metric
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 15. In practice, 2 or
3 is usually a good number.
Private
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.
RIP Direction=
Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP direction from Both/In
Only/Out Only or None.
Version=
Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP version from RIP-
1/RIP-2B/RIP-2M.
Once you have completed filling in the Network Layer Options Menu, press [ENTER] to return to Menu 11.
Press [ENTER] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at
any time to cancel.
6.1.2 Static Route Setup
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information that it cannot learn automatically through other means.
This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the one that is
directly connected to a remote node.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the
following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it doesn't know that there is a route through remote node Router 1 (via Router 2). The
static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote nodes.
