Link Protocol
Possible Settings: PPP, SLIP

PPP – Point-to-Point Protocol.
SLIP – Serial-Line Internet Protocol.
RIP
Possible Settings: None, Proprietary, Standard_out
Default Setting: None
Specifies which Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used to enable routing of
management data between devices.
Display Conditions – This option only appears when Port Use is set to Net Link.
None – No routing is used.
Proprietary – A proprietary variant of RIP version 1 is used to communicate routing
information only between devices to enable routing of IP traffic.
Standard_out – The device will send standard RIP messages to communicate routing
information about other FrameSaver units in the network. Standard RIP messages
received on this link are ignored.
NOTE:
9124-A2-GH30-00
The router must be configured to receive RIP on the port connected to the
COM port, configured as the management interface (e.g., Cisco: config-t,
router RIP, int serialx, IP RIP Receive version 1, ctl-z WR).
To create this management interface, make sure that Node or COM port IP
Information has been set up (see Configuring Node IP Information on
page 8-11).
