IP Subnet Mask 

Enter the subnet mask for this destination. Follow the discussion on IP subnet mask in 
this chapter. 

Gateway IP 
Address 

Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your 
Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must 
be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN, the gateway must be the 
IP address of one of the remote nodes. 

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 Prestige will include the route to this remote node in its 
RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP 
broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through 
RIP broadcasts. 

Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to Confirm…” 
to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
