Configuring IP Routing 14-3
Required Configuration
To run IP in a SmartSwitch 1800, make sure the following are properly configured:
●
Node parameters (Chapter 4). This is general configuration that must be done
no matter which protocols will be run in the node.
●
Loaded protocols (Chapter 5): IP, RIP, and the transport protocol: frame relay
or X.25.
●
LAN port (page 6-5) that will connect to the LAN(s).
●
Frame relay (Chapter 7) or X.25 (Chapter 8) port(s) that will connect to a
network or frame relay PVC.
●
IP parameters described in this chapter.
Configuring IP Node Defaults
Each SmartSwitch 1800 device supports one of three versions of the Routing Infor-
mation Protocol (RIP), which used by IP to update routing tables. The device can be
configured to support RIP Version 1, Version 2 Multicast, or Version 2 Broadcast.
Updates in any of the three versions can be received; however, only updates of the
configured version will be transmitted.
If you will be using RIP version 1, you do not need to configure a version, since
version 1 is the default in the database. If you will be using another version, press
[A]
at the Configure IP/LLC2/BRIDGE/IPX Default Parameters Menu (or [A], [A], [E], [A]
from the Main Menu).

After changing the RIP version, press [A], [C], [E], [G] from the Main Menu, to update
the node with the change.
