Only" means the DSL-2120/2120W will only send RIP packets, not accept any RIP packets
received. Selecting "None" means the DSL-2120/2120W will not send any RIP packets nor will
it accept any RIP packets received.
The Dynamic Route field controls the format and the broadcasting method of RIP packets
that the DSL-2120/2120W sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving packets.
RIP-1 is universally supported, but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is adequate for
most networks. Only consider RIP-2 if your network has unusual topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet
broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
4.3.2 Introducing DHCP
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP), when enabled, gives out IP addresses to a
device that requests an IP address to be logged on to the network as it boots up. A device
must be configured as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. The DHCP
address pool contains the range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the
clients on the network.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
