Remote IP Address field should be set to [1.1.1.1].
Step 4.
In Menu 11.3, set the remote node's subnet mask to [0.0.0.0], and set RIP to [None].

with the IP address of the primary ISP, which is implicitly set at 0.0.0.0. When combined with
the subnet mask of 0.0.0.0, it creates a default route identical to the one derived from the
primary ISP when this remote node is activated.
