|
RIP |
| This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP (Routing | |
|
| Information Protocol), and the default is [Both]. | |
|
| If set to [Both], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the WAN, | |
|
| and incorporate RIP broadcasts by the other router into its routing table. | |
|
| If set to [In Only], your Prestige will not broadcast its routing table on the | |
|
| WAN. | |
|
| If set to [Out Only], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table but ignores | |
|
| any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. | |
|
| If set to [None], your Prestige will not participate in any RIP exchange with | |
|
| other routers. | |
|
| Usually, you should leave this parameter to [Both] and let RIP propagate the | |
|
| routing information automatically if you have multiple LANs behind the | |
|
| Prestige. If you have only a single LAN, turn RIP off to reduce the traffic. | |
|
|
|
|
Version |
| The parameter specifies the RIP version and method of broadcasting when | |
|
| sending routing table. The Prestige recognizes both versions when | |
|
| receiving. Please see section 3.2.2 RIP Setup for a detailed discussion on | |
|
| RIP versions. | |

Remote IP Address
The Prestige compares the negotiated remote IP network number against the configured network number after IPCP (IP Control Protocol) negotiation. The network number is computed by ANDing the IP address with the subnet mask, e.g., if the IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the network number is 192.168.1.0.
