IP Subnet
Mask
An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID.
The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of the
address, expressed in dotted decimal notation. Your Prestige will
automatically calculate this mask based on the IP address that you
assign. Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the
default subnet mask.
255.255.255.0
(default)
RIP Direction This parameter determines how your Prestige handles RIP
(Routing Information Protocol). If set to [Both] (default), your
Prestige
will broadcast its routing table on the LAN, and incorporate
RIP broadcasts by other routers into the routing table. If set to In
Only, your
Prestige
will not broadcast its routing table on the LAN, if
set to Out Only, your Prestige will broadcast the routing table but
ignores any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. If set to None,
your Prestige will not participate in any RIP exchange with other
routers.
Version: The default is [RIP-2B]
Note: Usually, you should use the default RIP [Both], and let
RIP propagate the routing information automatically.
[Both]
(default)
