Figure 22 LAN IP Alias

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 14 LAN IP Alias

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
IP Alias 1, 2	Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the Prestige.
IP Address	Enter the IP address of your Prestige' in dotted decimal notation.
	Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.
IP Subnet Mask	Your Prestige will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP
	address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet
	mask computed by the Prestige.
RIP Direction	RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to
	exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls
	the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In
	Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the Prestige will broadcast
	its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the
	RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP packets
	and will ignore any RIP packets received.
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). RIP-1
	is universally supported but RIP-2 carries 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-2Buses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2Muses 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. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the Version set
	to RIP-1.
