Total Access 600R User Interface Guide (UIG)
Bridge
The Bridge menu contains the parameters needed for exchanging bridged packets with the PPP peer.
M
ODE
When set to O
N
, the Total Access 600R will attempt to negotiate PPP BCP with the PPP peer. Bridg-
ing can be used even in route mode only if the PPP peer cannot support certain PPP protocols for that
particular routing protocol. Default is
O
FF
.
PPP
The Total Access 600R supports the IETF standards for the Point-to-Point Protocol. The PPP state
machine running in the 600R can be fine-tuned to support many applications that can be employed. The
configurable items under this menu can be changed from their default values for special cases.
M
ODE
Enables or disables RIP. Default is O
FF
.
P
ROTOCOL
Specifies the RIP protocol. Choices are
V1
(RIP version 1)
or
V2
(RIP version 2). The default is
V1
.
METHOD
Specifies the way the RIP protocol sends out its advertise-
ments. Choices are given below.
N
ONE
All routes in the router table are advertised with no
modification of the metrics.
S
PLIT
H
ORIZON
(
DEF)
Only routes not learned from this circuit are adver-
tised.
POISON REVERSE
All routes are advertised, but the routes learned
from this port are “poisoned” with an infinite met-
ric.
D
IRECTION
Allows the direction at which RIP advertisements are sent
and listened to be specified.
TX
AND
RX (
DEF
)
RIP advertisements are periodically transmitted
and are listened to on this port.
TX O
NLY
RIP advertisements are periodically transmitted
but are not listened to on this port.
RX ONLY
RIP advertisements are not transmitted on this
port, but are listened.
T
RIGGERED
When set to Y
ES
, only IP RIP updates are sent when the
routing table has changed and learned routes are not “aged.”
When set to N
O
(def), updates are sent periodically.
R
ETAIN
When this Connection List entry is disconnected and this pa-
rameter is set to Y
ES
, all routes learned from this WAN con-
nection are retained and their routing interface is set to idle.
This permits dial-on-demand to occur using this profile for
any IP network that might have been advertised by the par-
ticular PPP peer. The idle routes can be flushed or “zombies”
from the routing table if a manual hangup is performed when
this WAN connection is not active. When this Connection
List entry is disconnected and this parameter is set to N
O
(def), routes learned from this session are “zombies” and are
not retained.
