Setup/IP-router-module/RIP-configuration
This option allows you to enter settings for the management of IP-RIP packets. The menu
has the following layout:
RIP-type
This option allows you to select the method to be used for handling the IP-RIP packets.
The different settings have the following meaning:
Off: IP-RIP is not supported (default).
RIP-1: RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received but only RIP-1 packets are sent.
R1-comp: RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received. RIP-2 packets are sent as an IP
broadcast.
RIP-2: Same as R1-comp except that all RIP packets are sent to the IP multicast
address 224.0.0.9.
R1-mask
If RIP-1 is set, this option allows you to influence the management of network masks.
Therefore, these settings are required only for subnetting under RIP-1. The different
settings have the following meaning:
Class (default): The network mask used in the RIP packet is derived directly from the
IP address class, i.e. the following network masks are used for the network classes:
– Class A: 255.0.0.0
– Class B: 255.255.0.0
– Class C: 255.255.255.0
Address: The network mask is derived from the first bit that is set in the IP address
entered. This and all high-order bits within the network mask are set. Thus, for
example, the address 127.128.128.64 yields the IP network mask 255.255.255.192.
Cl+Addr: The network mask is formed from the IP address class and a part attached
using the address procedure. Thus, the above-mentioned address and the network
mask 255.255.0.0 yield the IP network mask 255.128.0.0.
Table-IP-RIP
This option allows you to display the entries in the current dynamic IP routing table.
