Editing TCP/IP Options (with Ethernet Encapsulation) Move the cursor to the Edit IP field in Menu 11.1 , then press the [SPACE BAR] to toggle and set the

value to Yes. Press [Enter] to open Menu 11.3 - Network Layer Options.

Figure 4-4 Remote Node Network Layer Options The next table gives you instructions about configuring remote node network layer options.

Table 4-4 Remote Node Network Layer Options Menu Fields

Field Description Example

IP Address Assignment

If your ISP did not assign you an explicit IP address, select

Dynamic; otherwise select Static and enter the IP address & subnet mask in the following fields.

Dynamic

IP Address If you have a StaticIP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to you by your ISP.

IP Subnet Mask

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned to you.

Gateway IP Addr

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the gateway IP address assigned to you.

Network Address Translation

Use the [SPACE BAR] to toggle between Full Feature, None, SUA Only. See the NAT chapter for a full discussion on this feature.

SUA Only

Metric This field is valid only for PPTP/ PPPoE encapsulation. 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

Field Description Example between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Private This field is valid only for PPTP/ PPPoE encapsulation. 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.

Yes

RIP Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP direction from Both/ None/In Only/Out Only. Please see section 3.1.4 for more

information on RIP. The default for RIP on the WAN side is None. It is recommended you do not change this setting.

None

Version Press the [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP version from RIP-1/RIP- 2B/RIP-2M and None.

Multicast IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group. The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP-v2. Press the space bar to enable IP Multicasting or select None to disable it. See the previous Part for more information on this feature.

IGMP-v2

Once you have completed filling in the Network Layer Options Menu, press [Enter] to return to Menu 11. Press [Enter] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at any time to cancel.

4.2.1 Editing TCP/IP Options (with PPTP Encapsulation)

Make sure that Encapsulation is set to PPTP in Menu 11.1. Then move the cursor to the Edit IP field in Menu 11.1, press the [SPACE BAR] to toggle No to Yes. Press [Enter] to open Menu 11.3 - Network Layer Options.

Figure 4-5 Remote Node Network Layer Options The next table gives you instructions about configuring remote node network layer options.

Table 4-5 Remote Node Network Layer Options Menu Fields

Field Description Example

IP Address Assignment

If your ISP did not assign you an explicit IP address, select Dynamic; otherwise select Static and enter the IP address & subnet mask in the following fields.

Dynamic

Rem IP Address

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to the remote node.

Rem IP Subnet Mask

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned to the remote node.

My WAN Addr Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require the WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the LAN and each end must have a unique address within the WAN network number. If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige.

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the remote router.

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
