SpeedStream Router User Guide
to decide which interface will carry the outbound IP packet. If all routes in the routing table fail, the router will forward the IP packet to its default route. When the router boots up, it will broadcast its routing table on configured interfaces; i.e., it shares its routing table with other routers that support RIP. This broadcast occurs about every 30 seconds. A router can also “ask” another RIP router for its routing table. If the SpeedStream router receives a valid request, it will respond with the SpeedStream router routing table.
RIP Configuration Options
Interface:
The
RIP Version 1:
Allows RIP version 1 to be transmitted/received on the selected interface. Currently, RIPv1 is seldom used, but supported on the SpeedStream router.
Version 2:
Allows RIP version 2 to be transmitted/received on the selected interface. This would be the most common choice.
Versions 1 and 2:
Simultaneously supports RIP versions 1 and 2 on the selected interface.
Active Mode:
If enabled, the router will receive routing updates on the selected interface and will broadcast regular routing updates to other routers. If not enabled (default), the router will receive routing updates on this interface, but will not broadcast routing tables.
