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 modes 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. |
