DI-1162 Remote Access Router
The mask should contain at least the standard network portion (as determined by the address's class), and the subnet field should be contiguous with the network portion.
•Forwarding (LAN) – this enables or disables communications between this interface and other router(s) on the LAN.
•State (WAN) – this is a link method between this interface and adjacent router(s). The methods are described:
1.AUTO – this obtains and utilizes the IP address assignment from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
2.DISABLE – this disables this interface.
3.IP STACK – this enables this interface, and the IP address used will be the value of the parameter, IP Address.
4.UNNUMBER – this utilizes a method of connecting this router with adjacent routers, without having to define an IP network prefix between them. The adjacent routers must have UNNUMBER capability too.
•Routing Protocol – this is a distance vector routing protocol. RIP is an Internet standard Interior Gateway Protocol defined in RFC 1058 and RFC 1723. Routing information is sent periodically (each 30 seconds, or triggered by topology change) to an adjacent router. The adjacent router must be using the same protocol. Setting this to RIPV1&V2 will give the router the ability to make routing information exchanges with any adjacent router.
•Routing Mode – this parameter allows the router to specify the extent to which it partakes in the RIP on this port. The options are described below:
1.None – the router will not participate in any RIP exchange with adjacent routers.
2.Listen – the router will incorporate routing information from adjacent routers, but will not send it’s own routing table.
