Table 16 IP Alias
Label Description
IP Alias 1,2 Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the
Business Secure Router.
IP Address Enter the IP address of your Business Secure Router in dotted
decimal notation.
IP Subnet Mask Your Business Secure Router automatically calculates the subnet
mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are
implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the
Business Secure Router.
RIP Direction With RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389),
a router can exchange routing information with other routers. The
RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP
packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In Only/Out Only/
None. When set to Both or Out Only, the Business Secure Router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In
Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it receives; when set
to None, it does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP
packets received.
RIP Version The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting
method of the RIP packets that the Business Secure Router sends
(it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally
supported but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably
adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network
topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2
format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting
while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load
on nonrouter machines because they generally do not listen to the
RIP multicast address and so do not receive the RIP packets.
However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your
network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set
to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.
