RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

Using RIP, the router is able to determine the shortest distance between two points on the network based on the addresses of the originating devices. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is based on distance algorithms to calculate the shortest path. The shortest path is based on the number of hops between two points.

To use the RIP option:

1.Click the Configure the RIP protocol for advanced routing hyperlink from the “Advanced Internet Options” window. This displays the “RIP Configuration” window.

2.Select one of the following options from under the RIP Version heading next to the connection of your choice:

•1: Provides essential RIP packet formatting for routing information packets.

•2: Provides enhanced packet formatting for routing information packets by providing the following: IP address, subnet mask, next hop, and metric (shows how many routers the routing packet crossed to its destination.

•1&2: A combination of both types of RIP packets.

3.Select an Active Mode checkbox next to a corresponding connection to enable it.

4.Click Apply. This displays the “Your Settings Have Been Saved” window.

5.Optionally, click Reboot if you wish for the settings to immediately be implemented. The system responds by restarting your router.
