Field

 

Description

 

 

 

 

RIP

 

This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP (Routing

 

 

Information Protocol), and the default is [Both].

 

 

If set to [Both], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the WAN,

 

 

and incorporate RIP broadcasts by the other router into its routing table.

 

 

If set to [In Only], your Prestige will not broadcast its routing table on the

 

 

WAN.

 

 

If set to [Out Only], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table but ignores

 

 

any RIP broadcast packets that it receives.

 

 

If set to [None], your Prestige will not participate in any RIP exchange with

 

 

other routers.

 

 

Usually, you should leave this parameter to [Both] and let RIP propagate the

 

 

routing information automatically if you have multiple LANs behind the

 

 

Prestige. If you have only a single LAN, turn RIP off to reduce the traffic.

 

 

 

 

Version

 

The parameter specifies the RIP version and method of broadcasting when

 

 

sending routing table. The Prestige recognizes both versions when

 

 

receiving. Please see section 3.2.2 RIP Setup for a detailed discussion on

 

 

RIP versions.

 

 

 

 

Once you have completed filling in the Network Layer Options Menu, press [Enter] to return to Menu 11. Press [Enter] at the message [Press ENTER to Confirm...] to save your configuration, or press [Esc] at any time to cancel.

Remote IP Address

The Prestige compares the negotiated remote IP network number against the configured network number after IPCP (IP Control Protocol) negotiation. The network number is computed by ANDing the IP address with the subnet mask, e.g., if the IP address is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the network number is 192.168.1.0.
