DESCRIPTION
Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the P-79X.
Enter the IP address of your P-79X in dotted decimal notation.
Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.
Your P-79X 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 P-79X.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 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 P-79X 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.
The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the P-79X 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. 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.
