Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports
LAN Configuration 5-3
202-10085-01, March 2005
IP Subnet Mask: The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
router will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign.
Unless you are implementing subnetting, use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask (computed by
the router).
RIP Direction: RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) allows a router to exchange
routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router
sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
When set to Both or Out Only, the router 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: This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1.
RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network setup.
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2
format.
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Note: Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines because they do not listen
to the RIP multicast address and will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router
uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting. For RIP-2B and
RIP-2M you can select the type of authentication as NONE or MD5. If MD5 is selected,
additional parameters need to be entered.
Use router as DHCP server—By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server, providing TCP/IP configuration for all computers connected to the
router's LAN. If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually
configure all devices, select the Disable option under DHCP configuration. Select the DHCP
Relay option to configure the router as a DHCP relay.
DHCP Log - Click this button to see the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP
Server to PCs and other DHCP clients.
Starting IP Address - This box specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address
pool. 192.168.1.2 is the default start address.
