.
BOTH
Specifies whether you want the Cayman Gateway to respond when it receives an
address resolution protocol for devices behind it. By default, proxy ARP is turned
off.
BOTH
Specifies whether the Cayman Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) broadcasts to advertise its routing tables to other routers on your network.
RIP Version 2 (RIP-2) is an extension of the original Routing Information Protocol
(RIP-1) that expands the amount of useful information in the RIP packets. While
RIP-1 and RIP-2 share the same basic algorithms, RIP-2 supports several new fea-
tures, including inclusion of subnet masks in RIP packets and implementation of
multicasting instead of broadcasting (which reduces the load on hosts which do
not support routing protocols. RIP-2 with MD5 authentication is an extension of
RIP-2 that increases security by requiring an authentication key when routes are
advertised.
Depending on your network needs, you can configure your Cayman Gateway to
support RIP-1, RIP-2, or both.
BOTH
Specifies whether the Cayman Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) broadcasts to update its routing tables with information received from other
routers on your network.
ENET
Specifies whether Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled for the WAN
(Ethernet B) port on the Cayman Gateway.
BOTH
Specifies whether the Cayman Gateway should send packets to a default Gateway
if it does not know how to reach the destination host.
ENET
Specifies how the Cayman 2E-H should route information to the default Gateway.
If you select ip-address, you must enter the IP address of a host on a local or
remote network. If you specify ppp, the Cayman unit uses the default gateway
being used by the remote PPP peer.
