Table 8 -2 lists and describes the fieldsfor Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options.

Field Description

IPAddress Assignment Selectswhether the WAN IP address will be static (fixed) or assigned

dynamically.

IPAddress Ifyou are using a fixed address, enter that IP address in this field. This is the

addressassigned to the local router, not the remote router.

IPSubnet Mask Thisfield displays the standard class netmask for the network address of the

remoterouter. If the remote network uses a netmask other than thestandard

classnetmask, you must enter the netmask here.

GatewayIP Address Ifyou are using a fixed address, enter the IP address of the remote router to

whichyour router will connect.

Single User Account Ifthis f ield is set to Yes, the router performs NAT (IP Address Masquerading)

tothis node.

Metric Entera number in this field that approximates the cost for this link. IP routing uses

hopcount as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected

networks.The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 16.

Inpractice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

Private Thisfield determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its RIP

broadcasts.If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any RIP

broadcast.If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to otherhosts

throughRIP broadcasts.

RIP:

RIPDirection Thisparameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information

Protocol).If set to Both (default), the router broadcasts the routing table of the

routeron 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 .

Ifset to Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP

broadcastpackets that it receives. If set to None,the router does not participate in

anyRIP exchange with other routers. Usually, you shouldleave this parameter

atthe default (Both) and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.

RIPVersion Thisfield determines the format and broadcasting method of any RIP (Routing

InformationProtocol) 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 broadcastformat.

• 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 support

IPMulticast. To enable Multicast routing,select either IGMP-v1 or IGMP-v2
