IP Subnet

Mask

RIP Direction

An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of the address, expressed in dotted decimal notation. Your Prestige will automatically calculate this mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask.

This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol). If set to [Both] (default), your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the LAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by other routers into the routing table. If set to In Only, your Prestige will not broadcast its routing table on the LAN, if set to Out Only, your Prestige will broadcast the 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.

Version: The default is [RIP-2B]

Note: Usually, you should use the default RIP [Both], and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
