LAN TCP/IP Setup

• IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.

• IP Subnet Mask.

The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP

address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to

it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.

• RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing

information with other routers.

This setting controls how the router sends and receives

RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router

broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router

incorporates the RIP information that it receives.

• RIP V

ersion. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP

packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By

default, the RIP function is disabled.

RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an

unusual network setup.

RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2

format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
