Default Route Selected is the default for Virtual Circuit 0.
The Default Route controls which connection
will be used for default IP gateway routing.
Only one Virtual Circuit can have this option
selected.
RIP Mode (Routing Information Protocol Mode). RIP
allows you to share routing information with
other routing devices on the WAN. Most small
home or office networks do not need RIP,
since they have only one router (the ADSL
Ethernet) and one path to the ISP.
However, you may need to configure RIP if:
• Your home network contains another
router. The ADSL Ethernet and the other
router can communicate via RIP to share
their routing tables.
• Your network connects via the DSL line
to a remote network, such as a corporate
LAN. In order for your LAN to learn the
routes used in the corporate network, both
networks must be configured for RIP.
• Your ISP requests that you run RIP for
communication with devices on their
network.
The modem generally transmits its default
route(s) every 30 seconds. Options are
disabled (the default), passive (the modem
receives but doesn’t transmit), or active (the
modem receives and transmits).
Virtual Circuit Accept the default, which is 0, or if you are
configuring an additional connection, select
another number. A Virtual Circuit is a path
through the network to reach a destination –
the Internet or a Virtual Private Network, for
example.
When you finish, click Update, then Save Configuration.
