Integrated Router

IP Router

FCD-IPM as an IP router supports:
Static IP net configuration
Dynamic IP net learning using RIP and RIP-2 protocols
CIDR topologies
Multiple IP nets on the LAN
Numbered and unnumbered interfaces
IP fragmentation
RIP1, RIP2 & OSPF Routing Protocols.

IPX Router

FCD-IPM also supports standard IPX routing that includes support for RIP and SAP.
Bridging
FCD-IPM supports bridging. The bridge is used to interconnect a number of LANs
by accessing layer 2 (MAC layer). FCD-IPM automatically extends the scope of any
interface, allowing the interface to interconnect several networks, providing that all
supported interfaces are set to bridge mode.
