Table 14-2 Menu 11.3 Remote Node Network Layer Options 
FIELD DESCRIPTION 
EXAMPLE 
IP Address 
Assignment 
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Dynamic if the remote 
node is using a dynamically assigned IP address or Static if it is using a 
static (fixed) IP address. You will only be able to configure this in the ISP 
node (also the one you configure in menu 4). All other nodes are set to 
Static
Dynamic 
Rem IP Addr  This is the IP address you entered in the previous menu. 
 
Rem Subnet 
Mask 
Type the subnet mask assigned to the remote node. 
 
My WAN 
Addr 
Some implementations, especially UNIX derivatives, require separate IP 
network numbers for the WAN and LAN links and each end to have a 
unique address within the WAN network number. In that case, type the IP 
address assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige. 
Refers to local Prestige address, not the remote 
router address. 
 
NAT  
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Full Feature if you have 
multiple public WAN IP addresses for your Prestige.  
Select SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your 
Prestige. The SMT uses Address Mapping Set 255 (menu 15.1 - see 
section Error! Reference source not found.).  
Select None to disable NAT. 
SUA Only 
Address 
Mapping Set 
When SUA Only is selected in the NAT field, the SMT uses NAT server 
set 1 in menu 15.2 (see the NAT chapter for details). 
Metric 
The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP 
routing uses hop count as the cost measurement, with a minimum of 1 for 
directly connected networks. Type 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 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. 
No 
RIP 
Direction 
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select the RIP Direction.  
Options are BothIn OnlyOut Only or None
