USER’S GUIDE90 CyberSWITCHentered for the interface. For example, if the IP address of the interface is 199.120.211.98, the portionof the menu displaying the available transmit broadcast addresses would appear as:In almost all cases, the default transmit address is used (1). The only time any of the other numericaladdresses are used is if the default has been configured, and the machines are not responding to IPRIP or some other broadcast protocol. If this happens, try the other Transmit Broadcast Addressmenu selections. Some older UNIX machines may work with selection (2) or (4). Regardless ofwhich address is selected, the goal is to allow broadcasts from the defined interface to all deviceson the local network.If you plan to exchange IP RIP packets with devices connected over dedicated links or semi-permanent connections, select Specify Explicitly. You can then explicitly specify the device (onlyone) with which the CyberSWITCH will be exchanging packets. You may also select this option tosupport a unicast address feature for a numbered WAN interface. (See RIP Send Control options.)This will avoid sending packets to all remote devices on the IP network.TRANSMIT B ROADCAST IP A DDRESSRequested only if you selected Specify Explicitly for the transmit broadcast address. The IP addressof the device with whom the CyberSWITCH will be exchanging RIP packets.For multiple LAN network interfaces, you must have an associated transmit broadcast address foreach interface.I NPUT/O UTPUT F ILTER N AMEA filter is a list of conditions which modifies the normal processing flow of packets. You mayspecify the name of a predefined input and/or output filter for the primary interface on a LAN port.All secondary interfaces assigned to the same LAN port are subject to the actions specified by thesefilters. When configuring a secondary LAN interface, you cannot change the filter information.RIP I NFORMATION(See individual Send Control, Receive Control, Respond Control and Authentication Controlelements). You may configure one set of RIP parameters for the primary network interface on aLAN port. All other secondary interfaces assigned to the same LAN port are subject to the sameactions specified by these parameters. When configuring a secondary LAN interface, you cannotchange the RIP information.You may also configure a set of RIP parameters for each RLAN or numbered WAN interface.Transmit Broadcast Address:1) 199.120.211.2552) 199.120.211.03) 255.255.255.2554) 0.0.0.05) Specify ExplicitlyEnter Transmit Broadcast Address [default = 1]? 1
