50CHAPTER 5: ROUTER CONFIGURATION

You can set up RIP independently on both LAN and WAN interfaces.

1Select the RIP Mode Enable radio button.

2Select the appropriate radio button to enable or disable Auto Summary. Auto Summarization sends simplified routing data to other RIP-enabled devices rather than full routing data.

3Select the Operation Mode:

■Disabled — RIP is not enabled for the WAN or LAN interface.

■Enabled — RIP is enabled for the WAN or LAN interface. The router will transmit RIP update information to other RIP-enabled devices.

■Silent — RIP is enabled, however the router only receives RIP update messages, it will not transmit any messages itself.

4In the Version field, select RIPv1 or RIPv2.

We recommend that you only use RIPv1 if there is an existing RIP-enabled device on your network that does not support RIPv2. In all other cases, you should use RIPv2.

5Use the Poison Reverse radio button to enable or disable Poison reverse on the router. Enabling Poison Reverse on your Router allows it to indicate to other RIP-enabled devices that they have both routes that point to each other, preventing data loops.

6Use the Authentication Required field to choose one of three modes of authentication:

■None — Switches off authentication on the specified interface.

■Password — An unencrypted text password that needs to be set on all RIP-enabled devices connected to this router. RIP information is not shared between devices whose passwords do not match.

■MD5 — A password that has been encrypted using the MD5 encryption algorithm that needs to be set on all RIP-enabled devices connected to this router. RIP information is not shared between devices whose passwords do not match.

7In the Authentication Code field, enter the password that is required if either the Password or MD5 option has been selected.

8Click Apply.

Routing Table The Routing Table screen displays details for the default routing used by your Router and any routing created using Static Routing or RIP.
