Table 7-1
Type the IP address of your ZyWALL in dotted decimal notation 192.168.1.1 (factory
default).
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
ZyWALL 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 ZyWALL 255.255.255.0.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 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 ZyWALL 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. Both is the default.
The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the ZyWALL 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. By default, RIP direction is set
to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.
