Description
This read-only field shows the IP address you entered for this remote node in the
previous menu.
This field will display the standard class netmask for the network address of the
remote router. If the remote network uses a netmask other than the standard
class netmask, you must enter the netmask here.
Some network implementations require hosts on both ends of the ISDN link to
have separate addresses from the LAN, and these addresses must have the
same network number. If this situation, known as numbered links, applies to your
network, enter the IP address in this field that is assigned to the WAN port of your
router. This is the address assigned to the local router, not the remote router.
If this field is set to Yes, the router performs NAT (IP Address Masquerading)
to this node. See "Single IP Address Operation Using NAT" on page 1-13 for
information about the Single User Account feature. The default is No.
If you have selected Single User Account and want to make your local server
accessible to outside users, enter the IP address of that server here. Incoming
packets with destination port numbers not handled by the router will be forwarded
to this server address.
The Metric field 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 in this field that approximates the
cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and
16. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
This field determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its RIP
broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any RIP
broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
