Operating Mode
• Gateway - This is the normal mode of operation. This allows all
devices on your LAN to share the same WAN (Internet) IP ad-
dress. In the Gateway mode, the NAT (Network Address
Translation) mechanism is enabled.
• Router - You either need another Router to act as the Gateway, or
all PCs on your LAN must be assigned (fixed) Internet IP ad-
dresses. In Router mode, the NAT mechanism is disabled.
Dynamic Routing
RIP
The Router, using the RIP protocol, calculates the most efficient route
for the network’s data packets to travel between the source and the
destination based upon the shortest paths.
RIP Send Packet
Version
Choose the version of RIP packets you want to send to peers: RIPv1 or
RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other Routers on
your LAN.
RIP Recv Packet
Version
Choose the version of RIP packets you want to receive from peers:
RIPv1 or RIPv2. This should match the version supported by other
Routers on your LAN.
