The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the 
Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).  RIP-1 is universally supported; 
but RIP-2 carries more information.  RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless 
you have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that 
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
4.5.3  Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 
recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to 
a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. 
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish 
membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 
2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If 
you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP 
version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is 
used to identify host groups and can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address 
224.0.0.0 is not assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address 
224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of all IP hosts 
(including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order to participate in IGMP. 
The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group. 
The Prestige supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At 
start up, the Prestige queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. 
After that, the Prestige periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/
disabled on the Prestige LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). 
Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.
4.6  Any IP
Traditionally, you must set the IP addresses and the subnet masks of a computer and the 
Prestige to be in the same subnet to allow the computer to access the Internet (through the 
Prestige). In cases where your computer is required to use a static IP address in another 
network, you may need to manually configure the network settings of the computer every time 
you want to access the Internet via the Prestige. 
With the Any IP feature and NAT enabled, the Prestige allows a computer to access the 
Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address and subnet mask) of the 
computer, when the IP addresses of the computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.  
Whether a computer is set to use a dynamic or static (fixed) IP address, you can simply 
connect the computer to the Prestige and access the Internet.
