Figure 7-4: LAN IP Setup Menu
The LAN IP parameters are:
IP Address: This is the LAN IP address of the router.
IP Subnet Mask: This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the
IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be
reached through a gateway or router.
RIP Direction: RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and
receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
When set to Both or Out Only, the router will broadcast its routing table periodically.
When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
