Reference Guide for the Model FR314 Cable/DSL Firewall Router
B-2
Network and Routing Basics
 
Routers vary in performance and scale, number of routing protocols supported, and types of 
physical WAN connection they support. The FR314 Cable/DSL Firewall Router is a small office 
router that routes the IP protocol over a single-user broadband connection.
Routing Information Protocol
One of the protocols used by a router to build and maintain a picture of the network is the Routing 
Information Protocol (RIP). Using RIP, routers periodically update one another and check for 
changes to add to the routing table.
The FR314 firewall router supports both the older RIP-1 and the newer RIP-2 protocols. Among 
other improvements, RIP-2 supports subnet and multicast protocols. RIP is not required for most 
home applications. 
IP Addresses and the Internet
Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected across the world, every machine on the Internet must 
have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct destination. Blocks of 
addresses are assigned to organizations by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). 
Individual users and small organizations may obtain their addresses either from the IANA or from 
an Internet service provider (ISP). You can contact IANA at www.iana.org.
The Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 32-bit address structure. The address is usually written in dot 
notation (also called dotted-decimal notation), in which each group of eight bits is written in 
decimal form, separated by decimal points.
For example, the following binary address: 
11000011  00100010  00001100  00000111 
is normally written as: 
195.34.12.7
The latter version is easier to remember and easier to enter into your computer.
In addition, the 32 bits of the address are subdivided into two parts. The first part of the address 
identifies the network, and the second part identifies the host node or station on the network. The 
dividing point may vary depending on the address range and the application.
