Remote Node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP
broadcasts.
5. RIP—This parameter determines how your DI-300 or
DI-300M handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol), and
the default is Both. If set to Both, your router will broadcast
its routing table on the WAN and incorporate RIP broadcasts
from the other router into its routing table. If set to In Only,
your router will not broadcast its routing table on the WAN;
if set to Out Only, it will broadcast its routing table but
ignore any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. If set to
None, your DI-300 or DI-300M 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.

Static Route Setup
On a directly connected internet, RIP usually handles the routing
automatically. However, RIP cannot propagate across isolated
networks, as in the case before a connection is made between the
two subnetworks using one Class C IP address. Without a route, no
packets can be forwarded to their destinations. A static route is
used to resolve this problem by providing the DI-300 or DI-300M
with some static routing information. As a matter of fact, when you
configure the Internet Access or a Remote Node, a static route is
implicitly created. An example is given below. In the example,
stations on the 204.5.1.0/24 subnetwork can access the remote
