Description of the menu options R97

Setup/IP-router-module/RIP-configuration

This option allows you to enter settings for the management of IP-RIP packets. The menu has the following layout:

/RIP-configuration	Settings for IP-RIP operation
RIP-type	RIP compatibility switch
R1-mask	Management of network masks
Table-IP-RIP	Dynamic IP routing table

RIP-type	This option allows you to select the method to be used for handling the IP-RIP packets.
	The different settings have the following meaning:

KOff: IP-RIP is not supported (default).

KRIP-1:RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received but only RIP-1 packets are sent.

KR1-comp:RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received. RIP-2 packets are sent as an IP broadcast.

KRIP-2:Same as R1-compexcept that all RIP packets are sent to the IP multicast address 224.0.0.9.

R1-mask	If RIP-1is set, this option allows you to influence the management of network masks.
	Therefore, these settings are required only for subnetting under RIP-1. The different
	settings have the following meaning:

KClass (default): The network mask used in the RIP packet is derived directly from the IP address class, i.e. the following network masks are used for the network classes:

–Class A: 255.0.0.0

–Class B: 255.255.0.0

–Class C: 255.255.255.0

KAddress: The network mask is derived from the first bit that is set in the IP address entered. This and all high-order bits within the network mask are set. Thus, for example, the address 127.128.128.64 yields the IP network mask 255.255.255.192.

KCl+Addr: The network mask is formed from the IP address class and a part attached using the address procedure. Thus, the above-mentioned address and the network mask 255.255.0.0 yield the IP network mask 255.128.0.0.

Table-IP-RIP This option allows you to display the entries in the current dynamic IP routing table.
