6.2.1.1 Private IP Addresses
Every machine on the Internet must have a unique address. If your networks are isolated from
the Internet, for example, only between your two branch offices, you can assign any IP
addresses to the hosts without problems. However, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of IP addresses specifically for private
networks:
• 10.0.0.0 — 10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0 — 172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0 — 192.168.255.255
You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP or it can be assigned from a
private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an
ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks. On the other
hand, if you are part of a much larger organization, you should consult your network
administrator for the appropriate IP addresses.
"
Regardless of your particular situation, do not create an arbitrary IP address;
always follow the guidelines above. For more information on address
assignment, please refer to RFC 1597,
Address Allocation for Private Internets
and RFC 1466,
Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space.
6.2.2 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers. The
RIP Direction
field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets.
When set to:
•
Both
-
the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the
RIP information that it receives.
•
In Only
-
the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets
received.
•
Out Only
-
the ZyXEL Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP
packets received.
•
None
-
the ZyXEL Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
The
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.
