The Local IP menu (see figure 0-8, Local IP Window) describes the IP protocol related parameters at the
local end of the ISDN router.
Route Table
For simple Internet Access where you want to connect an IP network to the Internet, the route table is
created automatically. You need to manipulate the IP route table only if you have more complicated
network topology. If your local Ethernet network is divided into multiple IP subnets, you need to add a
static route entry with interface (IF) marked as “ether” for each local subnet. If you plan to connect to a
remote office through the Intranet, and there are multiple IP subnets at remote site, you need to add a static
route entry with interface (IF) masked as “intra” for each remote IP subnets. You may choose to turn on
the RIP protocol to update the route table automatically instead of manipulating the route table.
Turning on the RIP protocol is not recommended. The periodical exchange of RIP protocol
packets will keep your ISDN line up all of the time, and results in an expensive ISDN bill.
