Selecting Normal tells the router to operate without using RARP or
Proxy ARP.

Selecting RARP allows the selected router to dynamically petition
for an IP address and IP mask using RARP protocol if there is a
RARP server on the Ethernet network of the router. The IP
address and subnet mask will automatically be assigned for the
router by the RARP server (regardless of whether they were
already assigned or not).

Selecting Proxy allows the selected router to handle the ARP
requests of devices on your Ethernet network that do not have a
static routing table or dynamic routing mode.

Selecting RARP/Proxy allows the router to operate using both
RARP and Proxy ARP, as described above.

RIP Configuration: Select No RIP, RIP, or RIP/Poison RIP.

Selecting NO RIP does not allow the router to operate using RIP.

Selecting RIP allows the selected router to use dynamic routing if
RIP is available on the Ethernet network of the router.

Selecting RIP/Poison RIP allows the router to operate using RIP
but adds Poison RIP capability too. When the ISDN WAN
connection is not active, Poison RIP allows the router to advertise
that the remote network (via the ISDN phone numbers) is not
available.
