Via RIP 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 1
means that a route can involve 15 routers, while setting it to 15 means a route can only involve one router.
■ Select ADD STATIC ROUTE NOW to save the new static route, or select CANCEL to discard it and return to
the Static Routes screen.

“Adding a static route” on page 9-64 ).

To delete a static route, in the Static Routes screen select Delete Static Route to display a table of static
routes. Select a static route from the table and press Return to delete it. To exit the table without deleting the
selected static route, press Escape.
Rules of static route installation
The Netopia R910 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 R910’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 R910.
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.
