RIP Version

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

 

information with other routers. The version field controls the format and

 

the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the ZyXEL Device 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

 

This field is available only when you select ENET ENCAP.

 

Select the RIP version from RIPv1, RIPv2 and RIPv1v2.

Operation

Select Active to enable RIP. Otherwise, select Disable.

 

 

 

IGMP

Multicast packets are sent to a group of computers on the LAN and are

Multicast

an alternative to unicast packets (packets sent to one computer) and

 

broadcast packets (packets sent to every computer).

 

IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol

 

used to establish membership in a multicast group. The ZyXEL Device

 

supports both IGMP version 1 and version 2. Select Enable to turn on

 

IGMP. Otherwise, select Disable.
