13.2.3 Outgoing Authentication Protocol 
For obvious reasons, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible. However, some 
vendors’ implementation includes specific authentication protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if 
the negotiated protocol is different from that in the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is 
stronger than specified. If the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, make sure that you 
specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation. 
13.3 Metric 
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".
