Field		Description
TCP/IP Setup (continued)
RIP Direction		This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
		Information Protocol) with other routing devices on the LAN. If set to
		Both (default), the router broadcasts the routing table of the router on the
		LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing
		table. If set to In Only, the router broadcasts its routing table on the LAN.
		If set to Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores
		any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. If set to None, the router
		does not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers on the LAN.
		Usually, you should leave this parameter at the default (Both) and let
		RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
RIP Version		This field determines which version of RIP (Routing Information
		Protocol) will be used by the router.
		The following RIP options are supported by the Model RM356 Modem
		Router:
		• RIP-1—The router will accept and send RIP-1 messa ges only.
		• RIP-2B—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messa ges (both
		broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in broadcast
		format.
		• RIP-2M—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messa ges (both
		broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in multicast
		format.
		For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-2B. Select
		RIP-1 if other connected routers or workstations do not support RIP-2.
		Select RIP-2M only in a pure RIP-2 environment.
