Routing Protocol

This parameter sets the type of routing advertisement protocol to be used for each FCD-IPM interface (LANs and WANs).

If FCD-IPM is configured as a RIP router, it sends/receives information from its routing table to/from corresponding router(s), learning its environment dynamically.

	Table 5-8. Routing Protocol Settings
Values	Description
RIP1	Sends and receives routing information about IP nets only
RIP2	Sends and receives full routing information, including subnets
RIP1+2	Sends information as for RIP2 (full routing information, including
	subnets), and receive both RIP1 and RIP2 (routing information about IP
	nets only)
OSPF	Uses Open Shortest Path First protocol
None	FCD-IPM will not negotiate routing information with neighboring
	routers

Maximum Transmit Unit

This parameter sets the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for IP fragmentation. Set the MTU for each interface (LANs and WANs). If a frame is larger than the MTU, it will be fragmented into smaller units, while it is sent through the specified interface.

DHCP Relay

This parameter enables transmission of DHCP requests to specified IP addresses via WAN and LAN links.

IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)

This parameter determines the option for how FCD-IPM assigns IP addresses dynamically to connected workstations. FCD-IPM uses one of the following mechanisms to assign IP addresses dynamically to workstations:

	Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)
Values	Description
IPCP	This is a mechanism where the remote router or a workstation
Negotiations	connected to FCD-IPM via a link requests an IP address. This request is
	made by specifying zero for the IP address in the IPCP configure
	request (PPP).
BOOTP	This is a method where another router or workstation sends an
	affirmation for an IP address. FCD-IPM uses BOOTP to confirm the IP
	address by sending a BOOTP reply packet via a link or LAN. FCD-IPM
	using BOOTP supports basic options only.
