IP Port Support ICMP Mask Reply = [enabled | disabled]
Enables support for nodes on the connected networks to learn their subnet masks.
Recommended value: enabled
IP Port Support RIP Poisoned Reverse = [enabled | disabled]
Defines if Poisoned Reverse IP RIP messages are supported on the specified port. Generation and
processing of poisoned routes (RIP entries with their respective metric set to 16,defined as infinity) is enabled/
disabled by this parameter. Poisoned reverse is a method used by IP RIP to improve the rate of convergence
of the routing tables of interconnected IP routers. Routers supporting poisoned reverse that receive such IP
RIPs ignore the entries set to 16 and thus prevent the propagation of unneccessary (and often incorrect when
a topology change occurs) information which in turn accelerates the rate at which IP RIP will correctly map the
current network topology.
Recommended Value: enabled
Add A New Network
If Frame Relay is enabled, then it is possiblle to add a new network. To add a new network, click on the WAN
tab in IP Port Setup dialog box. The IP Port Setup dialog box changes to display the List of Logical WANs
and the Number of Logical WANs, and three new buttons (Add, Delete, and Save Change).
Note: 16 networks it the maximum number of networks.
Delete a Network
If Frame Relay is enabled, then it is possiblle to delete a new network. An existing network can be deleted by
selecting it from the List of Logical WANs and clicking on the Delete button.
Save Change
The Save Change button is avilable only when Frame Relay is enabled and can be used to save changes
made to parameters of a network. To change parameters of a network, select the network from the list of
logical WANs and then change the parameters required and click on the Save Change button.
