USER’S GUIDE108 CyberSWITCHreachable directly and therefore no intermediate router will be used. The default metric value is 2.The range of metric values for static routes is from 0 to 15.You may manipulate the metric value to promote a certain default route, or to impede a defaultroute from being used. For example, if there is a route that in reality has several hops, but they areall over LAN connections, you may want to assign a low metric to this route so that a route is takenthat is local, thus, no toll charges. Or, perhaps there is a route with a low number of hops, but theconnection is over a WAN. You may want to assign this route a high number of hops to limit tollcharges, in case there is a local route that could be used.IP RIP P ROPAGATION CONTROLThis controls how a static route is propagated via IP RIP. The following table provides anexplanation of how a IP RIP propagation control flag can be assigned to a static route.Flag MeaningPropagate Always This flag indicates that the route information isalways propagated via IP RIP.This flag is available when the next hop is over aLAN or a WAN interface.Propagate only when theNext Hop is ConnectedThis flag indicates that the route information ispropagated via IP RIP only when the next hop routeris connected to the system.This flag is available when the next hop is over aLAN or a WAN interface.Do Not Propagate This flag indicates that the static route information isnot propagated over the interface.This flag is available only when the next hop is overa WAN interface.
