Configuring Individual WAN Connections
The Connection profile
MAX 6000/3000 Network Configuration Guide 4-31
SourceIP Check, RIP and Pool parameters
The following parameters in Ethernet > Connection > Connection profile > IP Options specify
security, routing, and IP address pool information:
Preference Preference value for a route. RIP is a distance-vector protocol, which
uses a hop count to select the shortest route to a destination network.
RIP keeps a database of routing information that it gathers from
periodic broadcasts by each router on a network. OSPF is a link-state
protocol, which means that OSPF can take into account a variety of
link conditions, such as the reliability or speed of the link, when
determining the best path to a destination network. Because these two
metrics are incompatible, the unit supports route preferences.
Private Whether or not the unit discloses the existence of this route when
queried by RIP or another routing protocol. Private routes are used
internally but are not advertised.
DownPreference Preference value for a route whose associated WAN connection is
down.
DownMetric Metric for a route whose associated WAN connection is down.
Parameter Specifies
Parameter Specifies
SourceIP Check That the system checks all packets received on the interface to ensure
that their source IP address matches the combination of address and
subnet mask specified by the Remote Address value, or the address
agreed upon in IPCP negotiation. If Remote Address specifies a
subnet, packets that originate on that subnet are accepted. If Remote
Address specifies a 32-bit mask, only packets from that host are
accepted. Packets sent from an address that does not match are
discarded. This function is also known as anti-spoof.
RIP Support for RIP protocol. RIP keeps a database of routing information
that it gathers from periodic broadcasts by each router on a network.
Pool An IP address pool from which the caller will be assigned an IP
address. If the Pool parameter is null but all other configuration
settings enable dynamic assignment, the unit gets IP addresses from
the first defined address pool.
