CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
Selecting Normal tells the router to operate without using RARP or Proxy ARP.
Selecting RARP allows the selected router to dynamically petition for an IP address and IP mask using RARP protocol if there is a RARP server on the Ethernet network of the router. The IP address and subnet mask will automatically be assigned for the router by the RARP server (regardless of whether they were already assigned or not).
Selecting Proxy allows the selected router to handle the ARP requests of devices on your Ethernet network that do not have a static routing table or dynamic routing mode.
Selecting RARP/Proxy allows the router to operate using both RARP and Proxy ARP, as described above.
RIP Configuration: Select No RIP, RIP, or RIP/Poison RIP.
Selecting NO RIP does not allow the router to operate using RIP.
Selecting RIP allows the selected router to use dynamic routing if RIP is available on the Ethernet network of the router.
Selecting RIP/Poison RIP allows the router to operate using RIP but adds Poison RIP capability too. When the ISDN WAN connection is not active, Poison RIP allows the router to advertise that the remote network (via the ISDN phone numbers) is not available.
