Routing Protocol
This parameter sets the type of routing advertisement protocol to be used for each
FCD-IPM interface (LANs and WANs).
If FCD-IPM is configured as a RIP router, it sends/receives information from its
routing table to/from corresponding router(s), learning its environment
dynamically.
Table 5-8. Routing Protocol Settings
Values Description
RIP1
Sends and receives routing information about IP nets only
RIP2
Sends and receives full routing information, including subnets
RIP1+2
Sends information as for RIP2 (full routing information, including
subnets), and receive both RIP1 and RIP2 (routing information about IP
nets only)
OSPF
Uses Open Shortest Path First protocol
None
FCD-IPM will not negotiate routing information with neighboring
routers
Maximum Transmit Unit
This parameter sets the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for IP fragmentation. Set the
MTU for each interface (LANs and WANs). If a frame is larger than the MTU, it will
be fragmented into smaller units, while it is sent through the specified interface.
DHCP Relay
This parameter enables transmission of DHCP requests to specified IP addresses
via WAN and LAN links.
IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)
This parameter determines the option for how FCD-IPM assigns IP addresses
dynamically to connected workstations. FCD-IPM uses one of the following
mechanisms to assign IP addresses dynamically to workstations:
Table 5-9. IP Address Pool Setting (DHCP)
Values Description
IPCP
Negotiations
This is a mechanism where the remote router or a workstation
connected to FCD-IPM via a link requests an IP address. This request is
made by specifying zero for the IP address in the IPCP configure
request (PPP).
BOOTP
This is a method where another router or workstation sends an
affirmation for an IP address. FCD-IPM uses BOOTP to confirm the IP
address by sending a BOOTP reply packet via a link or LAN. FCD-IPM
using BOOTP supports basic options only.
