D-Link manual DI-308 Isdn Remote Router

DI-308 ISDN Remote Router

The parameters are described below:

•IP Address – This is the IP address for the router on the network to which this interface is connected.

•Netmask – This is a 32-bit bit mask that shows how the IP address is to be divided into network, subnet and host parts. The netmask has ones in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part. 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 forwarding between or among interface(s).

•State (ISDN) – 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
