RIP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) - RIP allows the network administrator to set up routing information on one RIP-enabled device and send that information to all RIP-enabled devices on the network.

Figure 73 RIP Parameter Screen

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

1Check the Enable RIP checkbox.

2Check the Enable Auto summary checkbox. 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 1 or 2.

3Com recommends 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.
