DESCRIPTION

Direction

This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP direction from the

 

drop-down list box.

 

BiDir - This interface sends and receives routing information.

 

In-Only- This interface receives routing information.

 

Out-Only- This interface sends routing information.

 

 

Send Version

This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP version(s) used for

 

sending RIP packets. Choices are 1, 2, and 1 and 2.

 

 

Receive Version

This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select the RIP version(s) used for

 

receiving RIP packets. Choices are 1, 2, and 1 and 2.

 

 

V2-Broadcast

This field is effective when RIP is enabled. Select this to send RIP-2 packets

 

using subnet broadcasting; otherwise, the ZyWALL uses multicasting.

 

 

OSPF Setting

See Section 13.3 on page 237 for more information about OSPF.

 

 

Area

Select the area in which this interface belongs. Select None to disable OSPF in

 

this interface.

 

 

Priority

Enter the priority (between 0 and 255) of this interface when the area is looking

 

for a Designated Router (DR) or Backup Designated Router (BDR). The

 

highest-priority interface identifies the DR, and the second-highest-priority

 

interface identifies the BDR. Set the priority to zero if the interface can not be

 

the DR or BDR.

 

 

Link Cost

Enter the cost (between 1 and 65,535) to route packets through this interface.

 

 

Passive

Select this to stop forwarding OSPF routing information from the selected

Interface

interface. As a result, this interface only receives routing information.

 

 

Authentication

Select an authentication method, or disable authentication. To exchange OSPF

 

routing information with peer border routers, you must use the same

 

authentication method that they use. Choices are:

 

Same-as-Area- use the default authentication method in the area

 

None - disable authentication

 

Text - authenticate OSPF routing information using a plain-text password

 

MD5 - authenticate OSPF routing information using MD5 encryption

 

 

Text

This field is available if the Authentication is Text. Type the password for text

Authentication

authentication. The key can consist of alphanumeric characters and the

Key

underscore, and it can be up to eight characters long.

 

 

MD5

This field is available if the Authentication is MD5. Type the ID for MD5

Authentication

authentication. The ID can be between 1 and 255.

underscore, and it can be up to 16 characters long.

 

 

DHCP Settings

 

 

 

DHCP

Select what type of DHCP service the ZyWALL provides to the network.

 

Choices are:

 

None - the ZyWALL does not provide any DHCP services. There is already a

 

DHCP server on the network.

 

DHCP Relay - the ZyWALL routes DHCP requests to one or more DHCP

 

servers you specify. The DHCP server(s) may be on another network.

 

DHCP Server - the ZyWALL assigns IP addresses and provides subnet mask,

 

gateway, and DNS server information to the network. The ZyWALL is the DHCP

 

server for the network.

 

 

 

These fields appear if the ZyWALL is a DHCP Relay.

 

 

Relay Server 1

Enter the IP address of a DHCP server for the network.
