DNS Servers

DNS (Domain Name System) manages the relationships between domain names 
and IP addresses. Without a DNS server, you must know the IP address of the 
computer you want to access before you access it.

First DNS Server

Second DNS 
Server

Third DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information. (In this 
case, the ISP assigns the WAN IP address too. See Network > WAN > Internet 
Connection.) The field to the right is read-only, and it displays the IP address 
provided by your ISP.

Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. You might get it 
from your ISP or from your network. Enter the IP address in the field to the right.

Select None if you do not want to use this DNS server. If you select None for all of 
the DNS servers, you must use IP addresses to configure the ZyXEL Device and 
to access the Internet.

RIP & Multicast 
Setup

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information 
with other routers. 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.
