Remote Node Setup
Table 9-6 Traffic Redirect Setup
FIELD
DESCRIPTION
EXAMPLE
Metric
Enter a number from 1 to 15 to set this route’s priority among the
Prestige’s routes (see
Route
Priority and Metric
on page
9-11
) The
smaller the number, the higher priority the route has.
15
(default)
Check WAN
IP Address
Enter the IP address of a reliable nearby computer (for example, your
ISP’s DNS server address) to test your Prestige’s WAN accessibility.
The Prestige uses the default gateway IP address if you do not enter an
IP address here.
If you are using PPTP or PPPoE Encapsulation, enter “0.0.0.0” to
configure the Prestige to check the PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) or
PPTP tunnel.
0.0.0.0
Fail Tolerance
Enter the number of times your Prestige may attempt and fail to connect
to the Internet before traffic is forwarded to the backup gateway. Two to
five is usually a good number.
2
Period (sec)
Enter the time interval (in seconds) between WAN connection checks.
Five to 60 is usually a good number.
5
Timeout (sec)
Enter the number of seconds the Prestige waits for a ping response from
the IP Address in the Check WAN IP Address field before it times out.
The number in this field should be less than the number in the Period
field. Three to 50 is usually a good number.
The WAN connection is considered “down” after the Prestige times out
the number of times specified in the Fail Tolerance field.

IP Static Route Setup

Chapter 10
IP Static Route Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure static routes with your Prestige.
Static routes tell the Prestige routing information what it cannot learn automatically through other means.
This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN.
Each remote node specifies only the network to which the gateway is directly connected, and the Prestige
has no knowledge of the networks beyond. For instance, the Prestige knows about network N2 in the
following diagram through remote node Router 1. However, the Prestige is unable to route a packet to
network N3 because it doesn’t know that there is a route through the same remote node Router 1 (via
gateway Router 2). The static routes are for you to tell the Prestige about the networks beyond the remote
nodes.

IP Static Route Setup
10.1 IP Static Route Setup
You configure IP static routes in menu 12. 1, by selecting one of the IP static routes as shown below. Enter
12 from the main menu.

Now, enter the index number of one of the static routes you want to configure.

Table 10-1 IP Static Route Menu Fields
FIELD
DESCRIPTION
Route #
This is the index number of the static route that you chose in menu 12.
Route Name
Enter a descriptive name for this route. This is for identification purposes only.
Active
This field allows you to activate/deactivate this static route.
Destination IP
Address
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is
always based on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network
number to be identical to the host ID.
IP Subnet Mask
Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must
be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over the WAN, the gateway must
be the IP address of one of the Remote Nodes.
Metric
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.
Private
This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node in
its RIP broadcasts. If set to
Yes
, this route is kept private and not included in RIP
broadcast. If
No
, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
Once you have completed filling in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to
Confirm…” to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
