Remote Node Configuration 

 

Select SUA Only if you have just one public WAN IP address for your 
ZyAIR. The SMT uses Address Mapping Set 255 (menu 15.1 - see 
section 6.3.1).  

Select None to disable NAT. 

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. 

2 

Private 

This determines if the ZyAIR 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.
