The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 30   LAN IP Alias

IP Alias 1, 2

Select the check box to configure another LAN network for the P-660HWP-Dx.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your P-660HWP-Dx in dotted decimal notation. 
Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.

IP Subnet Mask

Your P-660HWP-Dx will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP 

address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet 

mask computed by the P-660HWP-Dx.

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to 

exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls 

the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from None/

Both/In Only/Out Only. When set to Both or Out Only, the P-660HWP-Dx will 

broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will 

incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send 

any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.

RIP Version

The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP 

packets that the P-660HWP-Dx 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. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they 

generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP 

packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network 

must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the 

Version set to RIP-1.
