DESCRIPTION
Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the ZyXEL Device.
Enter the IP address of your ZyXEL Device in dotted decimal notation.
Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.
Your ZyXEL Device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP
address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet
mask computed by the ZyXEL Device.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to
exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls
the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In
Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the ZyXEL Device will
broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will
incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send
any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
This field is enabled if RIP Direction is not None. The RIP 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. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the
routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet
broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on
non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast
address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses
multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also.
