14-14 SmartSwitch 1800 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01RMetricis the routing metric count associated with the secondary IP address. This count is thenumber of "hops" (subnet gateways in the overall path over the internet) associatedwith this interface (usually zero). During routing, the interface with the lowest countwill be selected.RIP Supportspecifies the level of RIP support for the secondary IP address:Enabled All RIP messages will be accepted, and messages of theversion configured in IP Node Defaults ([A], [A], [E], [A] fromthe Main Menu—see page 14-3) will be transmitted.Rcv Only RIP messages will be accepted, but not transmitted.Disabled No RIP messages will be accepted or transmitted.Configuring Static IP RoutesRouting of IP traffic is handled dynamically by such protocols as RIP, as well as viastatic routes configured in the SmartSwitch 1800. Static routes are generally used forfixed paths with predictable traffic loads, such as inter-nodal management.To display configured static routes, press [F] at the Connections and Routing PathsMenu (or [A], [D], [F] from the Main Menu).To configure a route, press [G] at the Connections and Routing Paths Menu. Whenprompted, enter a Route Number: 0–32767. (Default is 0.) This is simply an identifier.Figure 14-4 IP Routing Record[A],[D],[G] from Main MenuNode Name=nod exyzIP Static Routing Con figu ration* R oute N umber: 1A R outer 255.255.255.255B Metric C ount 1C R oute Typ e NetworkD R oute D es tin ation 0.0.0.0E D es tin ation Mask 255.255.255.255Option:
