!
Static IP Route - Static routes tell a router routing information that it cannot learn automatically through
other means. This can arise in cases where RIP is disabled on the LAN or a remote network is beyond the
one that is directly connected to a remote node.
!
IP Multicast - Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in two ways - unicast or broadcast. Multicast is a
third way to deliver IP packets to a group of hosts. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the
protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (see RFC 2236). Both versions 1
and 2 are supported by the Prestige.
