Here's the definition of Preferred IP Address that we had in the context 
sensitive
help file for our Karlnet Configurator when I was at C-Spec...

"From time to time, the Bridge/IP Router will transmit unsolicited IP 
packets such as
SNMP Traps, Syslog, RIP or IP ARP packets.  Most Routers randomly use one of
the IP addresses from one of the Router interfaces as the source IP address for
these packets.  On the Bridge/IP Router you can specify the source IP 
address that you
prefer to use for these packets.  This IP address must be one of the IP 
addresses
defined as a direct route".

Clear as mud now?
