Gathering configuration information for your Ethernet interface
Before you start to configure the Ethernet interface, gather the information you need for each
of the parameters you will set in the Ethernet > Mod Config profile. Table 6-1 lists the
parameters you use to configure the MAX Ethernet interface for the LAN. You can leave all
other parameters in the Mod Config profile at their default values.

the address and the mask. For example, 198.5.248.40/29 indi-
cates that 29 bits of the IP address are interpreted as network

transmit RIP updates.
•
Send-v1—The MAX transmits RIP-v1 updates, but does not
receive RIP updates.
•
Both-v1—The MAX transmits and receives RIP-v1 updates.
•
Send-v2—The MAX transmits RIP-v2 updates, but does not
receive RIP updates.
•
Recv-v2—The MAX receives RIP-v2 updates, but does not
transmit RIP updates.
