202 Chapter 32 Static Routing
Metric The 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 be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3
is usually a good number.
Add Click Add to save the new rule to the IES-1248-51’s volatile memory. It then

link on the navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory
when you are done configuring.
