Chapter 5 WAN Setup Table 27 WAN Backup Advanced Setup LABEL DESCRIPTION Metric This field sets this route's priority among the three routes the ZyXEL Device uses (normal, traffic redirect and dial backup). Type a number (1 to 15) to set the priority of the dial backup route for data transmission. The smaller the number, the higher the priority. If the three routes have the same metrics, the priority of the routes is as follows: WAN, Traffic Redirect, Dial Backup. Enable SUA Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. SUA (Single User Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping: Many-to-One and Server. Enable RIP Select this check box to turn on RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. RIP Version The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the ZyXEL Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). Choose RIP-1, RIP-2B or RIP-2M. 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. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also. RIP Direction 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. Choose Both, In Only or Out Only. When set to Both or Out Only, the ZyXEL Device will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, the ZyXEL Device will incorporate RIP information that it receives. Enable Multicast Select this check box to turn on IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). IGMP is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. Multicast Select IGMP-v1 or IGMP-v2. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4 and 5 of RFC 2236. PPP Options Encapsulation Select CISCO PPP from the drop-down list box if your backup WAN device uses Cisco PPP encapsulation; otherwise select Standard PPP. Compression Select this check box to enable stac compression. Connection Nailed-Up Connection Select Nailed-Up Connection when you want your connection up all the time. The ZyXEL Device will try to bring up the connection automatically if it is disconnected. Connect on Demand Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field. Max Idle Timeout Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field when you select Connect on Demand. The default setting is 0, which means the Internet session will not timeout. 98 P-662H/HW-D Series User's Guide
