This parameter sets the type of routing advertisement protocol to be used for each 
FCD-IPM interface (LANs and WANs).  
If FCD-IPM is configured as a RIP router, it sends/receives information from its 
routing table to/from corresponding router(s), learning its environment 
dynamically. 

 

Sends and receives routing information about IP nets only 

 

Sends and receives full routing information, including subnets 

 

Sends information as for RIP2 (full routing information, including 

subnets), and receive both RIP1 and RIP2 (routing information about IP 

nets only) 

 

Uses Open Shortest Path First protocol 

 

FCD-IPM will not negotiate routing information with neighboring 

routers 

This parameter sets the maximum transmit unit (MTU) for IP fragmentation. Set the 
MTU for each interface (LANs and WANs). If a frame is larger than the MTU, it will 
be fragmented into smaller units, while it is sent through the specified interface. 

This parameter enables transmission of DHCP requests to specified IP addresses 
via WAN and LAN links. 

This parameter determines the option for how FCD-IPM assigns IP addresses 
dynamically to connected workstations. FCD-IPM uses one of the following 
mechanisms to assign IP addresses dynamically to workstations: 

 

This is a mechanism where the remote router or a workstation 

connected to FCD-IPM via a link requests an IP address. This request is 

made by specifying zero for the IP address in the IPCP configure 
request (PPP). 

 

This is a method where another router or workstation sends an 

affirmation for an IP address. FCD-IPM uses BOOTP to confirm the IP 
address by sending a BOOTP reply packet via a link or LAN. FCD-IPM 

using BOOTP supports basic options only.
