PPP Security
The DI-300 and DI-300M support PAP (Password Authentication
Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication
Protocol).
MS (Microsoft) CHAP
Your DI-300 or DI-300M and a Microsoft Windows 95 or
Windows NT server can authenticate each other using Microsoft's
proprietary CHAP algorithm. No special setup is needed to support
MS CHAP. Everything is done through PPP negotiation between
the router and the server.
RIP-1/RIP-2
Your DI-300 or DI-300M supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 (Routing
Information Protocol versions 1 and 2) exchanges with other
routers. RIP version controls in setup menus 3.2 (TCP/IP and
DHCP Ethernet Setup) and 11.3 (Remote Node Network Layer
Options) let you control RIP use, and offer the following version
options: RIP-1 (accept and send RIP-1 messages only), RIP-2B
(accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages, both broadcast and multicast,
and send RIP-2 messages in broadcast format), and RIP-2M
(accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages, both broadcast and multicast,
and send RIP-2 messages in multicast format).
(The suggested choice in both menus is RIP-2B, except in
environments where there are routers that do not understand RIP-2
packets at all. "Broadcast," above, means a destination MAC or IP
host address consisting of all binary ones; "multicast" means a
