DESCRIPTION
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.

link on the navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory
when you are done configuring.
