Table 7-4 Remote Node Network Layer Options Menu Fields

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

 

 

 

Metric

This field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. The metric

3

 

represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing

 

 

uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for

 

 

directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost

 

 

for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1

 

 

and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.

 

 

 

 

Private

This field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. This parameter

Yes

 

determines if the ZyWALL will include the route to this remote node in its

 

 

RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in

 

 

RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to

 

 

other hosts through RIP broadcasts.

 

RIP

Press [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP direction from Both/ None/In

None

 

Only/Out Only. Please see the RIP Setup section for more information

 

 

on RIP. The default for RIP on the WAN side is None. It is recommended

 

 

that you do not change this setting.

 

Version

Press [SPACE BAR] to select the RIP version from RIP-1/RIP-2B/RIP-

N/A

 

2M or None.

 

Multicast

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used

None

 

to establish membership in a Multicast group. The ZyWALL supports both

 

 

IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and version 2 (IGMP-v2). Press [SPACE

 

 

BAR] to enable IP Multicasting or select None to disable it. See the

 

 

previous Part for more information on this feature.

 

 

 

 

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.

7.2.1 Editing TCP/IP Options (with PPTP Encapsulation)

Layer Options.
