Prestige 201 ISDN Access Router
Static Route Setup 5-3
Field Description
Gateway IP Address Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of
your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the
gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN,
the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes.
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.
