7.6 LAN Technical Reference

This section provides some technical background information about the topics
covered in this chapter.
7.6.1

LANs, WANs and the ZyXEL Device

The actual physical connection determines whether the P-793H v2 ports are LAN
or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network
and the other outside the WAN network as shown next.

DESCRIPTION
The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting
method of the RIP packets that the P-793H v2 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.
