TCP/IP Setup

 

 

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your Prestige 1100 in dotted decimal notation.

192.168.1.1

IP Subnet Mask

Your Prestige 1100 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based

255.255.255.0

 

on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing

 

 

subnetting, use the value computed by the Prestige 1100.

 

RIP Direction

Press the space bar to select the RIP direction among [Both]/[In

[Both]

 

Only]/[Out Only]/[None]

(default)

 

 

Version

Press the space bar to select the RIP version among [RIP-1]/[RIP-

[RIP-1]

 

2B]/[RIP-2M].

(default)

 

 

 

 

 

Multicast

Turn on/off IGMP support and select the version from [IGMP-

[IGMP-v2]

 

v2]/[IGMP-v1]/[None]. This field is disabled if [DHCP= ]is set to [Client].

 

 

 

 

IP Policies

You can apply up to four IP Policy sets (from twelve) by entering their

 

 

numbers separated by commas, e.g., 3, 4, 6, 11

 

SUA

Press the space bar to select [Yes]to enable SUA on the Ethernet.

[No] (default)

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt [Press ENTER to Confirm…] to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.

3.4IP Multicast

Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a third way to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, i.e., those with “1110” as their higher-order bits. In dotted decimal notation, host group addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Among them, 224.0.0.1 is assigned to the permanent IP hosts group, and 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC2236). IP hosts use IGMP to report their multicast group membership to any immediate-neighbor multicast routers so the multicast routers can decide if a multicast packet needs to be forwarded. At start up, the Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership.

After that, the Prestige updates the information by periodic queries. The Prestige implementation of IGMP
