Chapter 26 Remote Node Setup

P-793H User’s Guide

The following table describes the fields in this menu.

Table 104   Menu 11.3: Remote Node Network Layer Options

IP Address 

Assignment

Select Dynamic if your ISP did not give you a fixed (static) IP address. Select 

Static if your ISP gave you a fixed (static) IP address. The next three fields are 

not available if you select Dynamic.

These fields appear if you selected Ethernet in Encapsulation in menu 11.

IP Address

Enter the fixed (static) IP address provided by your ISP.

IP Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask provided by your ISP.

Gateway IP Addr

Enter the IP address of the gateway provided by your ISP.

These fields appear if you selected PPPoE in Encapsulation in menu 11.

Rem IP Addr

Enter the IP address of the remote (peer) computer to which the ZyXEL Device 

connects.

Rem Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask of the remote (peer) computer to which the ZyXEL 

Device connects.

My WAN Addr

Enter the fixed (static) IP address provided by your ISP.

NAT

Select None if you do not want to use port forwarding, trigger ports, or NAT.
Select SUA Only if you want to use one or more of these features and have 

only one WAN IP address for your ZyXEL Device.
Select Full Feature if you want to use one or more of these features and have 

more than one public WAN IP address for your ZyXEL Device. 

Address Mapping Set This field is enabled if NAT is Full Feature. Specify which address mapping 

set you want to use for this remote node.

Metric

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the ZyXEL Device uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best 

route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing 

uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly 

connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number 

greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower 

the "cost".

Private

This field is related to RIP. This field determines whether or not the ZyXEL 

Device includes the route to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If you 

select Yes, this route is not included in RIP broadcast. If you select No, the 

route to this remote node is propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. 

Usually, you should keep the default value.

RIP Direction

Use this field to control how much routing information the ZyXEL Device sends 

and receives through this connection.
None - The ZyXEL Device does not send or receive routing information 

through this connection.
Both - The ZyXEL Device sends and receives routing information through this 

connection.
In Only - The ZyXEL Device only receives routing information through this 

connection.
Out Only - The ZyXEL Device only sends routing information through this 

connection.
