13-14 Frame Relay Module 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01NetMaskis the sub-network mask for the secondary IP address. The mask is used during routingto determine the portion of the address associated with the sub-network. All networkbits are set to 1 and must be contiguous.Bcast Addris the broadcast address associated with the secondary IP address. This address is usedto send to all LAN hosts on the sub-network.RMetricis 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, or see page 13-3) 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 FRM. Static routes are generally used for fixed pathswith 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.
