Loopback addresses for RIP

As of LCOS version 9.10 it is possible to specify a loopback address for WAN RIP.

Source address (opt.)
This is where you can configure an optional sender address to be used instead of the one otherwise automatically selected for the destination address. If you have configured loopback addresses, you can specify them here as source address. You can enter an address in various forms:
  • Name of the IP network (ARF network), whose address should be used.
  • "INT" for the address of the first intranet.
  • "DMZ" for the address of the first DMZ (Note: If there is an interface named "DMZ", its address will be taken).
  • LB0…LBF for one of the 16 loopback addresses or its name.
  • Furthermore, any IP address can be entered in the form x.x.x.x.
Note: If the source address set here is a loopback address, these will be used unmasked on the remote client.
