LevelOne FBR-1416 User Manual

FBR-1416 User Guide 

 

•  If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" 

page completely. 

•  If the FBR-1416 is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the 

"Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers. 

•  If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the FBR-1416 is to act 

as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ig-
nore the Static Routing table. 

•  If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN seg-

ments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure 
the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.) 

•  If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the FBR-

1416, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct: 
•  Open Routing and Remote Access  
•  In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, 

RIP  

•  In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 

2, and then click "Properties".  

•  On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and  

Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2". 

 

The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu. 

Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing 
Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously. 

•  If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your 

Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.  

•  The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN 

later in this chapter for further details and an example.
