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
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.
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.
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
Select which version of IGMP the ZyXEL Device uses to support multicasting on
the LAN. Multicast packets are sent to a group of computers on the LAN and are
an alternative to unicast packets (packets sent to one computer) and broadcast
packets (packets sent 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
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.
Windows
Networking
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 >
Rules.
NetBIOS packets are TCP or UDP packets that enable a computer to connect to
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.
This is the same setting you can set in Network > WAN > Advanced.
