8-6 IP-Router Setup
•
Listen to RIP
This function enables the brouter to listen for and update its RIP information. The routes
gathered in this manner come from other RIP-enabled routers on your network. This feature
is normally used in conjunction with Send RIP Routes, which instructs the brouter to pass
along all RIP information it has gathered to other RIP devices on your network.
•
Enable Proxy ARP
This feature allows the brouter to be used as the proxy host for users on the local network.
This instructs the brouter to act as a "proxy" for the local destination host. This is used in
circumstances that require connections not normally permitted for individual users on a
network.
•
Enable BOOTP/DHCP Forwarding
This feature allows the brouter to pass BOOTP and DHCP requests across the wireless net-
work.
•
Forwarding Host
Defines the IP address of the device configured to act as the forwarding host for BOOTP
and DHCP messages in a routed network.
•
Accept RIP For the Following Routes
Normally RIP instructs the brouter to forward all route information gathered to all RIP
devices located on you network. Specifying devices in the RIP Access List allows you to limit
which devices will be sent RIP. The devices specified in this list will be the only devices to
receive RIP, while all other devices will be denied the RIP information stored on this brouter.
