RIP Send Packet Version Choose the TX protocol to use to transmit data on the network: RIPv1 or RIPv2. This setting should match the version supported by other routers on your LAN.
RIP Recv Packet Version Choose the RX protocol to use to receive data from the network: RIPv1 or RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other routers on your LAN.
Static Routing
Sometimes you may prefer to use static routes to build your routing table instead of using dynamic routing protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange routing information with a peer router. You can also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic routing protocols. Static routes can be used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.
To set up static routing, you should add route entries in the routing table that tell the router where to forward packets to specific IP destinations.
Enter this data to create a static route entry:
Select Set Number Select the set number (routing table entry number) that you wish to view or configure. If necessary, click Delete This Entry to clear the entry.
Destination IP Address Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP, while the last field should be zero.
Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP domains, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway If this router is used to connect your network to the Internet, then your gateway IP is the router’s IP Address. If you have another router that manages your network’s Internet connection, enter the IP Address of that router instead.
Hop Count This value gives the number of nodes that a data packet passes through before it reaches its destination. A node is any device on the network, such as switches, PCs, etc. The maximum hop count value is 16.
