These pages must be used in conjunction with the Configure > IP Routes pages. Sub-configs can
be used as an alternative to using an entire PPP instance if only a few parameter changes from an
exist ing PPP instance are required. (This saves on memory usage in the unit).
If the normal route for a particular sub-net is down, the alternate route (with a higher metric) may
spec ify that the same PPP instance is used but with a different sub-configuration. For example, the
sub configuration may contain an alternative phone number.
