LABEL DESCRIPTION 
Metric 
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 HomeSafe will include this route to a remote node in
