Select
Next Gateway IP Address

it must at least know where to for ward packets destined for that network.

Select
Route Priority
and choose
High
or
Low
. High means that the static route takes precedence over RIP
information; Low means that the RIP information takes precedence over the static route.
•
If the static route conflicts with a connection profile, the connection profile will always take precedence.
•
To make sure that the static route is known only to the Router, select
Advertise Route Via RIP
and toggle
it to
No
. To allow other RIP-capable gateways to know about the static route, select
Advertise Route 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
Advertise Route Via RIP
.
With RIP Metric you set the number of gateways, from 1 to 15, between the sending gateway and the
destination gateway. The maximum number of gateways on a packet’s route is 15. Setting
RIP Metric
to
1
means that a route can involve 15 gateways, while setting it to
15
means a route can only involve one
gateway.
