Configuring IP Node Defaults; IP Interface configuration; Secondary Address configuration

The FRX4000, FRX6000, and the SmartSwitch 1800 support dynamic routing of IP 
(internet protocol) trafÞc among IP devices on LANs and routed subnetworks, via 
frame relay or X.25. The FRX and SmartSwitch 1800 can also be conÞgured to act 
as IP gateways, forwarding IP packets they receive.

Each FRX or SmartSwitch 1800 device can be conÞgured to support one of three 
versions of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). IP uses RIP update messages 
to send and gather information about the internetwork topology. These update 
messages are used to construct and maintain routing tables. Routing updates in 
any of these three RIP versions can be received; however, the device will only 
transmit updates in the one RIP version you conÞgure.

You can conÞgure the device to transmit one of the three following RIP versions:

¥

RIP Version 1

¥

RIP 1 Compatible

¥

RIP Version 2

RIP Version 1 and RIP Version 2 are incompatible with each other on the same 
network; however, each is compatible with RIP 1 Compatible. If you are 
transitioning a network from RIP Version 1 to RIP Version 2, Þrst reconÞgure 
every device to RIP 1 Compatible. When all devices are conÞgured for RIP 1 
Compatible, then each device can be conÞgured for RIP Version 2. 

You can conÞgure the RIP version for each device through console management, 
or through the IP Node window. To access the IP Node window:

1.

Click on the 

 button to display the Device menu.

2.

Drag down to IP Node Defaults, and release. The IP Node window, 

, will appear.
