Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the ZyXEL device.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your ZyXEL device in dotted decimal notation. 

IP Subnet Mask

Your ZyXEL device will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP 

address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet 

mask computed by the ZyXEL device.

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to 

exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls 

the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In 

Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the ZyXEL device 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.

RIP Version

The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the 

RIP packets that the ZyXEL device sends (it recognizes both formats when 

receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information. 

RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual 

network topology. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 

format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M 

uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since 

they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive 

the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your 

network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and 

the Version set to RIP-1.
