292 C HAPTER 18: IP R OUTER
Defaults are shown underlined.
Line Module
This field indicates the line module number of the port currently displayed.
Entering a different line module number and pressing F10 transfers the screen to
the same port on the new line module
Copy Parameters from Configuration
Enter the configuration number where the stations to be copied reside.
Module
This parameter represents the line module number in the source unit.
Enable IP Stack Only
It may be useful to put this parameter to Yes when the routing functions are not
required for the application. By putting this parameter to yes, a certain amount of
RAM memory is saved because no routing initialization functions are executed. At
the same time, it is a quick way to avoid any routing of packets without deleting
any router configuration parameters. The default value, No, however should fit
most situations.
Enable RIP
These are the standard ways of using the TXPORT router. RIP is used as per
RFC-1058 and RFC-1388. They are protocols to exchange information about
routes available in a network. RIP stands for Routing Information Protocol. These
protocols are generally used as an IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol). Keep in mind
that RIP was designed to work with small-to-moderate sized networks. The choices
are 1 for RIP1, 2 for RIP2, and N to disable RIP. The default value of 1.
Enable OSPF
This is another way of using the TXPORT router. OSPF stands for Open Shortest
Path First Routing which is a shortest path first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF
is an interior gateway protocol that distributes routing information between routers
in a single autonomous system. This Protocol is suitable for complex networks
with a large number of routers. If a large network is involved, OSPF may be the
solution for the user. By default, OSPF is disabled, that is, No.
Enable Trusted Neighbors
This is used to deactivate or activate a list of Trusted Neighbors. The explanation
of a Trusted Neighbor is given on page page 307. The default value is No.
OSPF Router ID
This is a 32-bit number assigned to each router running the OSPF protocol. This
number uniquely identifies the router within an Autonomous System. Remember to
use a unique Router ID for each router. The default value is 0.0.0.0.
If 0.0.0.0 is left as the default value, the Router ID automatically changes to the IP
address of the defined LAN circuit.
