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".

The metric sets the priority for the Prestige’s routes to the Internet. If any two of the default routes have the
same metric, the Prestige uses the following pre-defined priorities:

1. Normal

route:

designated by the ISP

2. Traffic-redirect route

IP Policy Routing overrides the default routing behavior and takes priority over all

of the routes mentioned above (see the IP Policy Routing chapter).

For example, if the normal route has a metric of "1" and the traffic-redirect route has a metric of "2", then
the normal route acts as the primary default route. If the normal route fails to connect to the Internet, the
Prestige tries the traffic-redirect route next.
