Description of the menu options
ELSA LANCOM Business
R52
sent on the LAN by this procedure every time a connection is established and released
(which may require other routers for additional broadcasts and may result in a high
network load), this feature can be activated and deactivated. The default setting is 'Off'.
LOOP-prop. Redundant routes, i.e. routes with the same tic and hop count, are only sent to the remote
station by which they were not received (split horizon). When the 'LOOP-prop.' function
is activated, these routes can still be propagated. Redundant routes are identified in the
RIP table by means of the LOOP flag.
Although the propagation of redundant routes is not prohibited by the Novell
specification, it should still be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, the default
setting is 'Off'.
Setup/IPX-module/WAN-configuration
This option allows you to maintain the data packet settings for the WAN port. The menu
has the following layout:
Routing-table The routing table can hold up to 16 remote stations and destination networks. It contains
the following entries:
The columns have the following meanings:
쮿
Remote-ID : Name of the logical remote station (as specified in /Setup/WAN-
module/Name-list).
쮿
Network : Address of the network on the WAN side. A standalone network must
be used, but it must be same for both of the participating routers!
쮿
Binding : The Ethernet binding to be used on the ISDN route. This setting is taken
into account only if Ethernet encapsulation is set in the layer used. If no binding is
specified, a value of 802.3 is assumed.
쮿
Propagate : This entry indicates how IPX type-20 packets (NetBIOS propagated
frames) are to be handled. The possible settings are Route and Filter. With Filter ,
no propagated frames are routed to the remote station. If the entry has the value
Route , the packets are forwarded to all currently available remote stations, i.e.,
there must be a connection to the remote station, or there must be at least one
channel available for establishing a connection the remote station.
