Interface name:[
configured on the Switch.
TX Mode:<V2 Only> – Toggle among Disabled, V1 Only, V1 Compatible, and V2 Only. This entry specifies which
version of the RIP protocol will be used to transmit RIP packets. Disabled prevents the transmission of RIP packets.
RX Mode:<V2 Only> – Toggle among Disabled, V1 Only, V2 Only, and V1 and V2. This entry specifies which
version of the RIP protocol will be used to interpret received RIP packets. Disabled prevents the reception of RIP
packets.
Authentication:<Enabled> – Toggle between Enabled and Disabled. When authentication is enabled, a password
is used to authenticate communication between routers on the network. Authentication is only supported when RIP is
in V1 Compatible or V2 only mode.
] – A password to be used to authenticate communication between routers on the network.

Advanced Setup
The switch operation mode setting changes the menus and configuration options for the Advanced Setup of the Switch.
This section of the manual is therefore divided into two sections for each Advanced Setup menu item to reflect the two
switch operation modes – Layer 2 with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN support and IP Routing with IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN support. Where there is no difference in the setup between the two switch operation modes, only one section will
be presented.
Configuring VLANs
Note: The Switch allows the assignment of an IP interface to each VLAN, in IP Routing mode.
The VLANs must be configured before setting up the IP interfaces. VLANs in Layer 2 Only
Mode
The Switch reserves one VLAN, VID = 1, called the DEFAULT_VLAN for internal use. The factory default setting assigns
all ports on the Switch to the DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are configured, there respective member ports are
removed from the DEFAULT_VLAN. If the DEFAULT_VLAN is reconfigured, all ports are again assigned to it. Ports that
are not desired to be part of the DEFAULT_VLAN are removed during the configuration.
Packets cannot cross layer 2 VLANs. If a member of one layer 2 VLAN wants to connect to another layer 2 VLAN, it must
be through a router.
VLANs by Switch Operating Mode – Layer 2 Only and IP Routing
Note:
The Switch's default - in both Layer 2 Only mode and IP Routing mode - is to assign all ports
to a single 802.1Q VLAN named DEFAULT_VLAN. As new VLANs are created, the member
ports assigned to the new VLAN will be removed from the default VLAN port member list.
Note: The DEFAULT_VLAN has a VID = 1. An IP interface called System in the IP interface entry
menu also has a VID = 1, and therefore corresponds to the DEFAULT_VLAN.
To create a new 802.1Q VLAN:
The VLAN menu adds an entry to edit the VLAN definitions and to configure the port settings for IEEE 802.1Q VLAN
support. Highlight VLANs from the Main Menu and press Enter.
