Remote IP Address
The Prestige compares the negotiated remote IP network number against the configured
network number after IPCP (IP Control Protocol) negotiation. The network number is
computed by ANDing the IP address with the subnet mask, e.g., if the IP address is
192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the network number is 192.168.1.0.
Description
This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP (Routing
Information Protocol), and the default is [Both].
If set to [Both], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table on the WAN,
and incorporate RIP broadcasts by the other router into its routing table.
If set to [In Only], your Prestige will not broadcast its routing table on the
WAN.
If set to [Out Only], your Prestige will broadcast its routing table but ignores
any RIP broadcast packets that it receives.
If set to [None], your Prestige will not participate in any RIP exchange with
other routers.
Usually, you should leave this parameter to [Both] and let RIP propagate the
routing information automatically if you have multiple LANs behind the
Prestige. If you have only a single LAN, turn RIP off to reduce the traffic.
The parameter specifies the RIP version and method of broadcasting when
sending routing table. The Prestige recognizes both versions when
receiving. Please see section 3.2.2 RIP Setup for a detailed discussion on
RIP versions.
