Note: The previous screen is associated with LAN or Remote LAN interface types. For
WAN interface types, there is no Packet Encapsulation field. The WAN interface
type also has an additional option for Host Routes Propagation.
b. Select the Packet Encapsulation type. (For LAN or Remote LAN interface types only.) This
specifies the encapsulation type for IP datagrams transferred on this interface. Ethernet
type encapsulation specifies that IP datagrams are transferred in standard Ethernet frames
as specified in RFC-894. SNAP type encapsulation specifies that IP datagrams are
transferred in 802.3 format frames using the Sub Network Access Protocol (SNAP) as
specified in RFC-1042.
c. Enter the MTU value. This specifies the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted
on the network interface. Some devices on the network may not be able to receive large
data packets. This parameter allows you to maintain compatibility with these devices by
setting the MTU to agree with that supported by the device.
d. Select the RIP Send Control. This element controls how IP RIP update messages are sent on
an IP RIP interface. The following table defines possible choices for IP RIP send control.
Note: RIP Version 1 supports broadcasts.
RIP Version 2 supports multicasts.
e. Select the RIP Receive Control. This element controls which version of IP RIP updates are to
be accepted. The following table defines possible choices for IP RIP receive control.
Choice Meaning
Do Not Send No RIP packets are sent.
RIP Version 1 RIP updates compliant with RFC 1058 are sent.
RIP Version 1
Compatibility
RIP Version 2 updates using RFC 1058 route
subsumption rules are broadcasted.
RIP Version 2 RIP Version 2 updates compliant with RFC 1723
are multicasted.
Switch Meaning
Do Not Receive No RIP updates are accepted.
RIP Version 1 Only Only RIP Version 1 updates compliant with RFC
1058 are accepted.
RIP Version 2 Only Only RIP Version 2 updates compliant with RFC
1723 are accepted.
RIP Version 1 or
Version 2
RIP Version 1 or 2 updates are accepted.
