• 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.
To configure RIP settings:
The RIP settings default to all interfaces disabled.
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 screen displays
notification that the new setting will not
take effect until you reboot the router.
You may do so at this point or later.
LAN Servers Servers such as HTTP, FTP and Telnet located on a LAN typically use their “well-known” port values for
communication (HTTP/80, FTP/21, Telnet/23). Under some circumstances, it may be necessary or
desirable for these servers to use a port value other than the standard one. In such situations, the router
must be configured manually with the non-standard port value for each affected server.
Note There is a restriction on the new port values that may be specified for these LAN servers. The
new port value must be in the range 1024-59999. Port values below 1024 are reserved for well-known
port values, and values above 60000 are used for port forwarding.
System Log The System Log records all system activity, including what actions were performed, what packets were
dropped and what packets were forwarded. This information allows you to make informed decisions
about the need to add new filter rules.
