LABEL DESCRIPTION
RIP & Multicast Setup
RIP Direction
Use this field to control how much routing information the ZyXEL Device sends
and receives on the subnet.
None - The ZyXEL Device does not send or receive routing information on the
subnet.
Both - The ZyXEL Device sends and receives routing information on the subnet.
In Only - The ZyXEL Device only receives routing information on the subnet.
Out Only - The ZyXEL Device only sends routing information on the subnet.
RIP Version
Select which version of RIP the ZyXEL Device uses when it sends or receives
information on the subnet.
RIP-1 - The ZyXEL Device uses RIPv1 to exchange routing information.
RIP-2B - The ZyXEL Device broadcasts RIPv2 to exchange routing information.
RIP-2M - The ZyXEL Device multicasts RIPv2 to exchange routing information.
Multicast
You do not have to enable multicasting to use RIP-2M. (See RIP Version.)
Select which version of IGMP the ZyXEL Device uses to support multicasting on
the LAN. Multicasting sends packets to some computers on the LAN and is an
alternative to unicasting (sending packets to one computer) and broadcasting
(sending packets to every computer).
None - The ZyXEL Device does not support multicasting.
IGMP-v1 - The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP version 1.
IGMP-v2 - The ZyXEL Device supports IGMP version 2.
Multicasting can improve overall network performance. However, it requires extra
processing and generates more network traffic. In addition, other computers on
the LAN have to support the same version of IGMP.
Any IP Setup
Active
Select this if you want to let computers on different subnets use the ZyXEL
Device.
Windows Networking (NetBIOS over TCP/IP)
Allow between
LAN and WAN
Select this check box if you want the ZyXEL Device to send NetBIOS (Network
Basic Input/Output System) packets between the LAN and WAN. You should also
make sure that NetBIOS packets are not blocked in Security > Firewall >
Services.
NetBIOS packets are TCP or UDP packets that enable a computer to connect to
and communicate with computers on other networks. It may sometimes be
necessary to allow NetBIOS packets to pass through the ZyXEL Device in order to
allow computers on the LAN to find computers on the WAN and vice versa.
This is the same setting you can set in Network > WAN > Advanced.
