6.2.2 Explaining RIP Setup

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with

other routers. The RIP Direction field controls how RIP packets are allowed to enter and

leave the router. Selecting Both means the router will broadcast its routing table and

incorporate the RIP information that it receives. Selecting In Only means the router will

only accept RIP packets received, not send RIP packets. Selecting Out Only means the

router will only send RIP packets, not accept any RIP packets received. Selecting

None means the router 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 router 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.

Direction: Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only.

Multicast: IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to

establish membership in a multicast group. The ADSL router supports both IGMP-v1 and

IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it. Please refer to

Internet

Æ Multicast

. The only difference

is the interface.

6.2.3 DHCP Server

44

The DHCP Server gives out IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP to

be logged on to the network. It must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address

automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the

range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the client on the network.
