DESCRIPTION

 

 

RIP & Multicast

 

Setup

 

RIP Direction

Use this field to control how much routing information the ZyXEL Device sends and

 

receives on the subnet.

 

None - The ZyXEL Device does not send or receive routing information on the

 

subnet.

 

Both - The ZyXEL Device sends and receives routing information on the subnet.

 

In Only - The ZyXEL Device only receives routing information on the subnet.

 

Out Only - The ZyXEL Device only sends routing information on the subnet.

 

 

RIP Version

Select which version of RIP the ZyXEL Device uses when it sends or receives

 

information on the subnet.

 

RIP-1- The ZyXEL Device uses RIPv1 to exchange routing information.

 

RIP-2B- The ZyXEL Device broadcasts RIPv2 to exchange routing information.

 

RIP-2M- The ZyXEL Device multicasts RIPv2 to exchange routing information.

 

 

Multicast

You do not have to enable multicasting to use RIP-2M. (See RIP Version.)

 

Select which version of IGMP the ZyXEL Device uses to support multicasting on

 

the LAN. Multicasting sends packets to some computers on the LAN and is an

 

alternative to unicasting (sending packets to one computer) and broadcasting

 

(sending packets to every computer).

 

None - The ZyXEL Device does not support multicasting.

 

IGMP-v1- The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP version 1.

 

IGMP-v2- The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP version 2.

 

Multicasting can improve overall network performance. However, it requires extra

 

processing and generates more network traffic. In addition, other computers on the

 

LAN have to support the same version of IGMP.

Any IP Setup

 

 

 

Active

Select this if you want to let computers on different subnets use the ZyXEL Device.
