Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router

Advanced Configuration of the Router 5-5

RIPDirection Thisparameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
InformationProtocol). RIP allows the router to exchange routing
informationwith other routers. If set to None (default), the router does
notparticipate in any RIP exchange with other routers. If set to Both, the
routerbroadcasts the routing table of the router on the LAN and
incorporatesRIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing table. If set
toIn Only, the router broadcasts its routing table onthe LAN. If set to
OutOnly, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP
broadcastpackets that it receives. Usually, you should leave this
parameterat the default (None).
RIPVersion Thisfield determines the format and broadcasting method of any RIP
(RoutingInformation Protocol) transmissions by the router.The following
RIPoptions are supported by the Model RP114 router:
• RIP-1—The router sends RIP-1 messages only.
• RIP-2B—The rout er sends RIP-2 messages in broadcast form at.
• RIP-2M—The router sends RIP-2 messages in multicastformat.
Formost applications, the recommended version is RIP-1.
Multicast Somestreaming media applications (e.g. Cisco IP/TV, RealPlayer) now
supportIP Multicast. To enable Multicast routing,select either IGMP-v1
or IGMP-v2.

Note: If you change the LAN IP addressof the routerwhile connected through the

browser orTelnet, you will be disconnected. Youmust then open a new connection tothe new IP address and log in again.
