Description
This read-only field shows the IP address you entered for this remote node in the
previous menu.
This field displays the standard class netmask for the network address of the
remote router. If the remote network uses a netmask other than the standard
class netmask, you must enter the netmask here.
This field should be set to 0.0.0.0 unless you are using Numbered Links or Single
User Account (SUA) with a fixed address. Some network implementations require
hosts on both ends of the ISDN link to have separate addresses from the LAN,
and these addresses must have the same network number. If this situation,
known as numbered links, applies to your network, enter the IP address in this
field that is assigned to the WAN port of your router. This is the address assigned
to the local router, not the remote router.
If this field is set to Yes, the router performs NAT (IP Address Masquerading)
to this node. If this field is set to Yes and your router is using a single fixed (not
dynamic) IP address, enter that address in the previous field, My Wan Address.
Enter a number in this field that approximates the cost for this link. IP routing uses
hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected
networks. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 16.
In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
This field determines if the router includes the route to this remote node in its RIP
broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included in any RIP
broadcast. If set to No, the route to this remote node is propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.
This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information
Protocol). If set to Both (default), the router broadcasts the routing table of the
router on the LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other routers into its
routing table. If set to In Only, the router broadcasts its routing table on the LAN.
If set to Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP
broadcast packets that it receives. If set to None, the router does not participate in
any RIP exchange with other routers. Usually, you should leave this parameter
at the default (Both) and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically
This field determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
The following RIP options are supported by the Model RT338 router:
• RIP-1—The router accepts and sends RIP-1 messages only.
• RIP-2B—The router accepts RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both broadcast and
multicast), and sends RIP-2 messages in broadcast format.
• RIP-2M—The router accepts RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both broadcast and
multicast), and sends RIP-2 messages in multicast format.
For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-2B. Select RIP-1 if other
connected routers or workstations have problems with RIP-2. Select RIP-2M only
in a pure RIP-2 environment.
