TD-W8961ND Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. ¾ 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 to be precise, but it must between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number. ¾ Announced in RIP: This parameter determines if the ADSL router will include the route to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. If No, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP broadcasts. 4.4.3 NAT Choose "Advanced Setup→NAT" menu, you can setup the NAT (Network Address Translation) function for the Router (shown in Figure 4-28).

It can be single IP or multiple IPs. We select Multiple to explain. ) Note: For VCs with single IP, they share the same DMZ and Virtual servers; for VCs with multiple IPs, each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Furthermore, for VCs with multiple IPs, they can define the Address Mapping rules; for VCs with single IP, since they have only one IP, there is no need to individually define the Address Mapping rule. 4.4.3.1 DMZ Choose "Advanced Setup→NAT→DMZ" in Figure 4-28, you can configure the DMZ host in the next screen. A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a host between a private local network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a server that has company data. Users of the public network outside the company can access to the DMZ host. 39

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 to be precise,
but it must between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Announced in RIP:
This parameter determines if the ADSL router will include the route to
this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, the route to this remote node will be
propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts. If No, this route is kept private and is not
included in RIP broadcasts.

Note:
For VCs with single IP, they share the same DMZ and Virtual servers; for VCs with multiple IPs,
each VC can set DMZ and Virtual servers. Furthermore, for VCs with multiple IPs, they can define
the Address Mapping rules; for VCs with single IP, since they have only one IP, there is no need
to individually define the Address Mapping rule.
