JWNR2010v5 N300 Wireless Router
The following screen displays:
3.
Enter the following settings:
•
IP Address
. The LAN IP address of the router (by default, 192.168.1.1).
•
IP Subnet Mask
. The LAN subnet mask of the router (by default, 255.255.255.0).
Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which
other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or
router.
•
RIP Direction
. Router Information Protocol (RIP) enables 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 Version
. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default,
the RIP function is disabled. Three RIP versions exist:
-
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have
an unusual network setup.
-
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
-
RIP-2M uses multicasting.
