The WAN interface’s Edit > Configuration screen is shown here as an example.
Note: If you create IP address objects based on an interface’s IP address, subnet, or
gateway, the ISG50 automatically updates every rule or setting that uses the object
whenever the interface’s IP address settings change. For example, if you change
LAN1’s IP address, the ISG50 automatically updates the corresponding interface-
based, LAN1 subnet address object.
With RIP, you can use Ethernet interfaces to do the following things.
• Enable and disable RIP in the underlying physical port or port group.
• Select which direction(s) routing information is exchanged - The ISG50 can receive routing
• Select which direction(s) routing information is exchanged - The ISG50 can receive routing
information, send routing information, or do both.
• Select which version of RIP to support in each direction - The ISG50 supports RIP-1, RIP-2, and
both versions.
• Select the broadcasting method used by RIP-2 packets - The ISG50 can use subnet broadcasting
or multicasting.
