RIP Configuration
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is commonly used in internal networks. It allows a router to exchange its routing information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing tables and adapt to changes in the network.
Note: RIP is disabled by default.
RIP
RIP Direction: Determines how the router sends and receives RIP packets:
Both: The router both broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP information received from other routers.
Out Only: The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not accept RIP information from other routers.
In Only: The router accepts RIP information from other routers, but does not broadcast its routing table.
None: The router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP packets from other routers. This effectively disables RIP.
RIP Version:
RIP-1 is a class-based routing version that does not include subnet information. This is the most commonly supported version.
RIP-2 includes all the functionality of RIPv1 plus it supports subnet information. Though the data is sent in RIP-2 format for both RIP-2B and RIP-2M, the mode in which packets are sent are different.
RIP-2B broadcasts data in the entire subnet.
RIP-2M sends data to multicast addresses.
Authentication for RIP 2B/2M
RIP authentication is disabled by default. To enable authentication for RIP-2B or RIP-2M, select Yes. Input the MD-5 keys and Effective Start and End dates for the First and Second Keys for MD5 based authentication between routers.
Click Apply to save the settings.
Click Reset to discard any changes and revert to the previous settings.
