Each field is described in the following table.
Metric
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.
Private
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.
