P-2024 User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best
route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". The smaller the
metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count as the measurement of cost,
where 1 is for a directly-connected network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a
value higher than 15, the routers assume the link is down.
Usually, you should keep the default value. This field is related to RIP.
This field determines whether or not the P-2024 includes the route to this remote
node in its RIP broadcasts. If you select Yes, this route is not included in RIP
broadcast. If you select No, the route to this remote node is propagated to other
hosts through RIP broadcasts.

DESCRIPTION
DNS (Domain Name System) manages the relationships between domain names
and IP addresses. Without a DNS server, you must know the IP address of the
computer you want to access before you access it.
•
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information. (In
this case, the ISP assigns the WAN IP address too. See Network > WAN >
Internet Connection.) The field to the right is read-only, and it displays the IP
address provided by your ISP.
•
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. You might
get it from your ISP or from your network. Enter the IP address in the field to
the right.
•
Select None if you do not want to use this DNS server. If you select None for
all of the DNS servers, you must use IP addresses to configure the P-2024
and to access the Internet.
