8.3 TCP/IP Priority (Metric)
The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best route for transmission by
choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a
minimum of "1" for directly connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number
greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the "cost".
The metric sets the priority for the ZyAIR’s routes to the Internet. If any two of the default routes have the
same metric.
