RIPng
RIPng (RIP next generation) extends RIPv2 to support IPv6.
See RIPng on Wikipedia and
RIPng Editor
• Name: Unique name of the policy.
• Metric: RIPng metric is a value for distance for the
network. Usually the RIP service increments the metric
when the network information is received. The metric for
redistributed routes is set to 1.
• Enabled: Click to enable/disable the policy. (Default:
enabled.)
Networks: Set the RIPng-enabled interfaces by network
using IPv6 addresses. RIPng is enabled on the interfaces that
have addresses within the network range.
Routes: Set RIPng static routing announcement of specified
network address.
Redistribute Routes: Redistribute routes of the specified protocol or kind into RIPng, with the metric type and
metric set if specified, filtering the routes using the given route-map if specified.
• Type: The type is the source of the route. Select from: Main, Connected, Static, OSPF, BGP.
• Metric: RIPng metric is a value for distance for the network. Usually the RIP service increments the metric
when the network information is received. The metric for redistributed routes is set to 1.
• Route Map: Route maps provide a means to filter and/or apply actions to routes, allowing policies to be
applied to routes.

DNS SERVERS

DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.
com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book,
translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers. The DNS
page for the device has these distinct functions:
• DNS Settings: By default your router is set to automatically acquire DNS servers through your Internet
provider (Automatic). DNS Settings allows you to specify DNS servers of your choosing instead (Static).
• Split DNS: Enable or disable the redirecting of specified domains to alternate DNS servers.
• Dynamic DNS Configuration: Allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you
have purchased (www.example.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address.
• Known Hosts Configuration: Allows you to map a name (printer, scanner, laptop, etc.) to an IP address of a
device on the network.
DNS Settings
You have the option to choose specific DNS servers for your network instead of using the DNS servers
assigned by your Internet provider. The default DNS servers are usually adequate. You may want to assign DNS
servers if the default DNS servers are performing poorly, if you want WiFi clients to access DNS servers that
you use for customized addressing, or if you have a local DNS server on your network.
