7.6 LAN Technical Reference
This section provides some technical background information about the topics covered in this
chapter.
7.6.1
LANs, WANs and the ZyXEL Device
The actual physical connection determines whether the ZyXEL Device ports are LAN or WAN ports.
There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN
network as shown next.

LAN and WAN IP Addresses
RIP Direction
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to
exchange routing information with other routers. The
RIP Direction
field
controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from
Both/In Only/Out Only/None
. When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the ZyXEL
Device will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to
Both
or
In Only
,
it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives; when set to
None
, it will
not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version
The
RIP Version
field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when
receiving).
RIP-1
is universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information.
RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual
network topology. Both
RIP-2B
and
RIP-2M
sends the routing data in RIP-2
format; the difference being that
RIP-2B
uses subnet broadcasting while
RIP-
2M
uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines
since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not
receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all
routers on your network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is
set to
Both
and the Version set to
RIP-1
.
