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 system-generated list of LAN or WAN interfaces available for RIP enabling.
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.
Configure RIP Settings
1. In the row of the interface for which you want to enable RIP, select the RIP version.
2. If you want to enable routing update
broadcasts, click the checkbox under
Active Mode.
3. Click Apply.
A confirmation window displays
notification that the new setting will not
take effect until you reboot the router.
You may do so at this point or later.
Server Ports HTTP, FTP and Telnet servers that reside within the router typically use their well-known port values for
communication (HTTP/80, FTP/21, and Telnet/23). Under some circumstances, it may be necessary or
desirable for these servers to use a port value other than their well-known port value. In these
circumstances, the router must be configured with the non-standard port values for each of the affected
servers.
