Description

 

 

 

 

 

RIP Direction

 

This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing

 

 

 

Information Protocol). RIP allows the router to exchange routing

 

 

 

information with other routers. If set to None (default), the router does

 

 

 

not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers. If set to Both, 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. Usually, you should leave this

 

 

 

parameter at the default (None).

 

RIP Version

 

This field determines the format and broadcasting method of any RIP

 

 

 

(Routing Information Protocol) transmissions by the router. The following

 

 

 

RIP options are supported by the Model RP114 router:

 

 

 

RIP-1—The router sends RIP-1 messages only.

 

 

 

RIP-2B—The router sends RIP-2 messages in broadcast format.

 

 

 

RIP-2M—The router sends RIP-2 messages in multicast format.

 

 

 

For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-1.

 

Multicast

 

Some streaming media applications (e.g. Cisco IP/TV, RealPlayer) now

 

 

 

support IP Multicast. To enable Multicast routing, select either IGMP-v1

 

 

 

or IGMP-v2.

 

 

 

 

 

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser or Telnet, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again.
