NETGEAR RP114 manual Remote Node Network Layer Options Fields, Rip

Reference Guide for the Model RP114 Web Safe Router

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

Table 8-2.	Remote Node Network Layer Options Fields
Field		Description
IP Address Assignment		Selects whether the WAN IP address will be static (fixed) or assigned
		dynamically.
IP Address		If you are using a fixed address, enter that IP address in this field. This is the
		address assigned to the local router, not the remote router.
IP Subnet Mask		This field displays the standard class netmask for the network address of the
		remote router. If the remote network uses a netmask other than the standard
		class netmask, you must enter the netmask here.
Gateway IP Address		If you are using a fixed address, enter the IP address of the remote router to
		which your router will connect.
Single User Account		If this field is set to Yes, the router performs NAT (IP Address Masquerading)
		to this node.
Metric		Enter a number in this field that approximates the cost for this link. IP routing uses
		hop count 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.
		In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Private		This field 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 other hosts
		through RIP broadcasts.
RIP:		This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information
RIP Direction		Protocol). If set to Both (default), 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. If set to None, the router does not participate in
		any RIP exchange with other routers. Usually, you should leave this parameter
		at the default (Both) and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
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
