FIELD DESCRIPTION
Active Press [SPACE BAR] and select Yes (to enable) or No (to disable) traffic redirect setup.
The default is No .
Configuration:
Backup
Gateway IP
Address Enter the IP address of your backup gateway in dotted decimal notation.
The Prestige automatically forwards traffic to this IP address if the Prestige’s Internet
connection terminates.
Metric This field sets this route's priority among the routes the Prestige uses.
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for
transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as
the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The
number must be between "1" and "15"; a number greater than "15" means the link is
down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press [ENTER] to confirm or [ESC] to
