RIP Version

Enables/disables support for RIP (Routing Information Protocol). When enabled, routing information will be exchanged with other devices.

Choices:

Version 1: Supports RIP version 1.

Version 2: Supports RIP version 2.

V.2, compatible to V.1: Supports RIP version 2 that is version 1 compatible (implies broadcasting RIP-2 updates).

Disable: Disables RIP support.

RIP Policy

Defines how route updates, requests, and responses are managed. Choices:

Silent: RIP accepts updates from other systems, but will not respond to requests or send updates.

Periodic: RIP sends a complete update to all neighbors and replies to all incoming requests (LAN only). This is how RIP operates normally.

If Connected: Allow RIP updates only if connected.

Snapshot Server:

Snapshot Client:

RIP Update

Defines the amount of time to wait (in seconds) between sending updates to peers.

Default:

30 seconds when in LAN profile or X25 profile.

60 seconds when in PPP profile where POLICY is SILENT or IFCONNECTED.

120 seconds when in PPP profile where POLICY is PERIODIC or SNAPSHOT.

Route Merging

Enables/disables RIP route merging. When enabled, RIP merges all similar routes to reduce the routing table size and save memory.

Default: Disabled.
