DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router
70
The parameters are described below:
♦
IP Address – This is a network IP address, access point, to a separate, physical network, on the LAN.
♦
Routing Protocol – This is the same as in the Network Configuration section. Keep in mind that these
exchanges are made with adjacent routers on the LAN, if present.
♦
IP Multicasting – This enables/disables IP multicasting on the IP network you are defining.
All other parameters (Netmask, Routing Mode, Multicast Protocol and IGMP Version) are identical to those in the
Network Configuration section.
Static ARP
This special function is intended to speed up the process of finding a host's Ethernet (MAC) address from its
network address, and provides a special condition – any other host acting as an impostor by using the same IP
address as the legitimate host, will be ignored by this router.
Basically, when a packet comes into the router from a WAN port and is destined for a host on the LAN, the router
will use information defined here to immediately send the packet to the host rather than send out an ARP request to
find the host’s MAC address.
