DESCRIPTION

 

 

Enable SUA

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol

 

address used within one network to a different IP address known within another

 

network.

 

SUA (Single User Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of

 

mapping: Many-to-One and Server. When you select this option the Prestige will

 

use Address Mapping Set 255 in the SMT (see the section on menu 15.1 for

 

more information).

 

 

Enable RIP

Select this check box to turn on RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which allows

 

a router to exchange routing information with other routers.

RIP Version

The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the

 

RIP packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).

 

Choose RIP-1,RIP-2B or RIP-2M.

 

RIP-1is universally supported; but RIP-2carries more information. RIP-1 is

 

probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network

 

topology. Both RIP-2Band RIP-2Msends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the

 

difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses

 

multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they

 

generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the

 

RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your

 

network must use multicasting, also.

 

 

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing

 

information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and

 

receiving of RIP packets.

 

Choose Both, In Only or Out Only.

 

When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast its routing table

 

periodically.

 

When set to Both or In Only, the Prestige will incorporate RIP information that it

 

receives.

 

 

Enable Multicast

Select this check box to turn on IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol). IGMP

 

is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it

 

is not used to carry user data.

 

 

Multicast

Select IGMP-v1or IGMP-v2. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement

 

over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would

 

like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP

 

version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236.
