and toggle it to
Yes
. When Adver tise Route Via RIP is toggled to Yes, a new item called RIP
Metric appears below Adver tise Route Via RIP.
With RIP Metric you set the number of routers, from 1 to 15, between the sending router and the
destination router. The maximum number of routers on a packet’s route is 15. Setting
RIP Metric
to

means that a route can involve 15 routers, while setting it to
15
means a route can only involve one router.

Rules of static route installation
The Netopia R9100 applies cer tain rules before installing enabled static routes in the IP routing table. An
enabled static route will not be installed in the IP routing table if any of the following conditions are true:
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
matches the IP address used by the Netopia R9100’s
Ethernet por t.
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
matches an IP address in the range of IP addresses being
distributed by MacIP or DHCP.
■
The static route’s
Next Gateway IP Address
is determined to be unreachable by the Netopia R9100.
A static route that is already installed in the IP routing table will be removed if any of the conditions listed above
become true for that static route. However, an enabled static route is automatically reinstalled once the
conditions listed above are no longer true for that static route.
