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".
Backup Gateway Type 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.
