NAT

Network Address Translation. By default,

this setting is

keeps your IP addresses hidden from

outside users.

Disabled

Description

RIP

RIP is an Internet protocol that you can set

up to share routing table information with:

•

LAN devices that support RIP

Remote networks connected via the

ADSL line

Your ISP’s location

Most small home or office networks do not

need to use RIP since they have only one

router and one path to an ISP. In these

cases there is no need to share routes

because all Internet data from the network

is sent to the same ISP gateway.

You may want to configure RIP if any of the

following circumstances apply to your

network:

Your home network setup includes an

additional router or RIP-enabled PC or

device. These routers will need to

communicate via RIP to share their

routing table information.

Your network connects via the ADSL

line to a remote network, such as a

corporate network. In order for your

modem to learn the routes used within

your corporate network, they should

both be configured with RIP.

Your ISP requests that you run RIP for

communication with devices on their

network

Accept V1

Accept Version 1 of the RIP protocol.

Accept V2

Accept Version 2 of the RIP protocol.

Sent V1

Send Version 1: Send RIP information to

other RIP-enabled devices.

Sent V2

Send Version 2: Send RIP Information to

other RIP-enabled devices.
