|
IP Address | Enter the IP address of your ZyXEL Device in dotted decimal notation. |
| Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address. |

|
IP Subnet Mask | Your ZyXEL Device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP |

| 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 ZyXEL Device will |
