[. . . ] The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your Prestige that will forward the packet to the destination. On the LAN, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your Prestige; over WAN, the gateway must be the IP address of one of the remote nodes. Metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and is not included in RIP broadcasts. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

Chapter 6 Bridging Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure the bridging parameters of your Prestige.
6. 1
Bridging in General
Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while routing does it on the network layer (IP) address. Bridging allows the Prestige to transport packets of network layer protocols that it does not route, for example, SNA, from one network to another. The caveat is that, compared to routing, bridging generates more traffic for the same network layer protocol, and it also demands more CPU cycles and memory. For efficiency reasons, do not turn on bridging unless you need to support protocols other than IP on your network. For IP, enable the routing if you need it; do not bridge what the Prestige can route.
6. 2
Bridge Ethernet Setup
Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN. Your Prestige does not support IPX.
6. 2. 1 Remote Node Bridging Setup
Follow the procedure in another section to configure the protocol-independent parameters in Menu 11. 1 Remote Node Profile. For bridging-related parameters, you need to configure Menu 11. 3 Remote Node Network Layer Options. To setup Menu 11. 3 Remote Node Network Layer Options shown in the next figure, follow these steps: Step 1. Move the cursor to the Edit IP/Bridge field, then press [SPACE BAR] to set the value to Yes and press [ENTER] to edit Menu 11. 3 Remote Node Network Layer Options.

Press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press [ENTER] to display menu 11. 3. Type the time (in minutes) for the Prestige to retain the Ethernet Address information in its internal tables while the line is down. If this information is retained, your Prestige will not have to recompile the tables when the line comes back up.
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press [ENTER] to confirm or [ESC] to cancel" to save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
6. 2. 2 Bridge Static Route Setup
Similar to network layer static routes, a bridging static route tells the Prestige the route to a node before a connection is established. You configure bridge static routes in menu 12. 3. 1 (go to menu 12, choose option 3, then choose a static route to edit) as shown next.
