IP Address

Type the IP address of your ZyWALL’s WLAN interface in dotted decimal notation. 

Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.

Note: Make sure the IP addresses of the LAN, WAN, WLAN and 

DMZ are on separate subnets.

IP Subnet Mask

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your 

ZyWALL automatically calculates the subnet mask based on the IP address that 

you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask 

computed by the ZyWALL.

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 ZyWALL 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. Both is the default.
