MD5 RIP Receive Mode is selected) The purpose of MD5 authentication is to provide an additional level of
confidence that a RIP packet received was generated by a reliable source. In other words, MD5 authentica-
tion provides an enhanced level of security that information that your PC receives does not originate from a
malicious source posing as part of your network. This field allows you to enter an MD5 encryption key of
from 1 – 16 ASCII characters for authenticating RIP receipts.
Multicast Forward: If you check this checkbox, this interface acts as an IGMP proxy host, and IGMP pack-
ets are transmitted and received on this interface on behalf of IGMP hosts on the LAN interface.
IGMP Null Source Address: If you check this checkbox, the source IP address of every IGMP packet trans-
mitted from this interface is set to 0.0.0.0. This complies with the requirements of TR-101, and removes
the need for a publicly advertised IP address on the WAN interface. This checkbox is only available if "Mul-
ticast Forward" is checked.
link, the Advanced WAN IP Interface configuration page appears.
Local Address: If this value is 0.0.0.0, the Gateway
will acquire its IP address from your ISP. Otherwise
this address is assigned to the virtual PPP interface.
Peer Address: Address of the server on the Service
Provider side of the ppp link. This peer will attempt to
negotiate the local IP address if IP Address =
0.0.0.0. If the remote peer does not accept the IP
address, the link will not come up.
RIP Receive Mode: Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other seg-
ments of your Ethernet network that the Motorola
Netopia® Gateway needs to recognize. Set to Off,
Netopia Embedded Software Version 7.7.4 will not
accept information from either RIP-1 nor RIP-2 rout-
ers. With Receive RIP Mode set to RIP-1, the Motor-
ola Netopia® Gateway will accept routing information
provided by RIP packets from other routers that use
the same subnet mask. Set to RIP-2, Netopia
Embedded Software Version 7.7.4 will accept routing
information provided by RIP packets from other rout-
ers that use different subnet masks.
From the pull-down menu, choose Off, RIP-1, RIP-2,
RIP-1 compatibility, or RIP-2 with MD5.
