LABEL DESCRIPTION
RIP & Multicast Setup
RIP Direction
Use this field to control how much routing information the WiMAX Modem sends
and receives on the subnet.
• None - The WiMAX Modem does not send or receive routing information on
the subnet.
• Both - The WiMAX Modem sends and receives routing information on the
subnet.
• In Only - The WiMAX Modem only receives routing information on the subnet.
• Out Only - The WiMAX Modem only sends routing information on the subnet.
RIP Version
Select which version of RIP the WiMAX Modem uses when it sends or receives
information on the subnet.
• RIP-1 - The WiMAX Modem uses RIPv1 to exchange routing information.
• RIP-2B - The WiMAX Modem broadcasts RIPv2 to exchange routing
information.
• RIP-2M - The WiMAX Modem multicasts RIPv2 to exchange routing
information.
Multicast
You do not have to enable multicasting to use RIP-2M. (See RIP Version.)
Select which version of IGMP the WiMAX Modem uses to support multicasting on
the LAN. Multicasting sends packets to some computers on the LAN and is an
alternative to unicasting (sending packets to one computer) and broadcasting
(sending packets to every computer).
• None - The WiMAX Modem does not support multicasting.
• IGMP-v1 - The WiMAX Modem supports IGMP version 1.
• IGMP-v2 - The WiMAX Modem supports IGMP version 2.
Multicasting can improve overall network performance. However, it requires extra
processing and generates more network traffic. In addition, other computers on
the LAN have to support the same version of IGMP.
