DESCRIPTION
This section is not available when you configure the ZyXEL Device to be
in bridge mode.
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.
This field is available only when you select ENET ENCAP.
Select Active to enable RIP. Otherwise, select Disable.
Multicast packets are sent to a group of computers on the LAN and are
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.
