connection is over a WAN. You may want to assign this route a high number of hops to limit toll charges, in case there is a local route that could be used.

IP RIP PROPAGATION CONTROL

This controls how a default route is propagated via IP RIP. The following table provides an explanation of how a IP RIP propagation control flag can be assigned to a default route.

Flag

Meaning

 

 

Propagate Always

This flag indicates that the route information is

 

always propagated via IP RIP.

 

This flag is available when the next hop is over a

 

LAN or a WAN interface.

 

 

Propagate only when the

This flag indicates that the route information is

Next Hop is Connected

propagated via IP RIP only when the next hop router

 

is connected to the system.

 

This flag is available when the next hop is over a

 

LAN or a WAN interface.

 

 

Do Not Propagate

This flag indicates that the static route information is

 

not propagated over the interface.

 

This flag is available only when the next hop is over

 

a WAN interface.

 

 

ROUTING INFORMATION PROTOCOL (RIP) OPTION

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a protocol used to exchange routing information among IP devices. Using IP RIP can automate the maintenance of routing tables on IP devices and relieve you of keeping the routing tables up to date manually. IP RIP determines the shortest path between two points on a network in terms of the number of “hops” between those points.

ENABLING/DISABLING IP RIP

USING CFGEDIT

1.If you are installing new system software, the IP RIP processing is enabled by default if IP routing has been enabled. Therefore, if you have already enabled IP routing, you do not need to enable IP RIP. If you are upgrading software, the IP RIP processing is not enabled by default; you will need to enable IP RIP.

2.To enable IP RIP:

a.Return to the IP menu and enable IP routing if you have not already done so.

b.Select RIP (Enable/Disable) from the IP menu, and follow the on-screen instructions for enabling IP RIP.
