Use PPP sub-configuration
If PPP sub-configurations are defined, this text will appear in normal highlighting (such as not 
disabled out) and text box will accept the number for the desired sub-configuration to use on 
this route. This parameter will not appear on those models that do not support PPP sub-
configurations.
Metric n
The routing metric to use when the interface is connected. This should have a value between 1 
and 16 and is used to select which route should be used when the subnet for a packet 
matches more than one of the IP route entries.
Each route can be assigned a connected metric and a disconnected metric. The connected 
metric parameter specifies the metric for a route whose interface is active. The disconnected 
metric specifies the metric for a route whose interface is inactive. Normally both values 
should be the same but in some advanced routing scenarios necessary to use different values.
If a particular route fails, it automatically has its metric set to 16, which means that it is 
temporarily deemed as being out of service. The default out of service period is set by the IP 
route out of service parameter. Note however, that this default period may be overwritten in 
certain situations such as when a firewall stateful inspection rule specifies a different period. 
When a route is out of service, any alternative routes (with matching subnets) will be used 
first.
