4.
Primary DNS Server/Secondary DNS Server—These two fields
are used by DHCP clients (such as Windows 95 and Windows NT
systems) for Domain Name Servers. Usually your Internet
provider will provide one or more name service hosts.
5.
IP Address—Enter the IP address of the Your IRT-1001 or IRT-
1002 in dotted decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0
and 255, separated by periods), e.g., 192.68.135.5. Note that
every machine on the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP
address.
6.
IP Subnet Mask—An IP address consists of two parts, the
network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to
specify the network ID portion of the address, expressed in dotted
decimal notation. Your IRT-1001 or IRT-1002 will automatically
calculate this mask based on the IP address that you assign.
Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default
subnet mask calculated by the router.
7.
RIP Direction—This parameter determines how the Your IRT-
1001 or IRT-1002 handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol). If
set to Both (default), the router will broadcast its routing table on
the LAN, and incorporate RIP broadcasts by other routers into its
routing table. If set to In Only, the router will not broadcast its
routing table on the LAN, if set to Out Only, the router will
broadcast its routing table but ignore any RIP broadcast packets
that it receives. If set to None, the router will not participate in any
RIP exchange with other routers.
Usually, you should leave this parameter at its default of Both and let
RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
8.
RIP Version—Determines what versions of the RIP Routing
Information Protocol the router accepts. Choices are:
◊ RIP-1
◊ RIP-2B
IRT-1000 series User's Guide
The router will accept and send RIP version 1
messages only.
The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages
(both broadcast and multicast), and sends RIP-2 messages in
broadcast format.
