NetComm NB712 manual Route, RIP Mode, Auto RIP Summary, Press Modify, Packets that it receives

8.5 Route

If the Router is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.

With Dynamic Routing, you can enable the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout. The Router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the least number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.

Click Route to modify the routing information.

To modify the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) Parameters:

RIP Mode:	Enable
Auto RIP Summary:	Enable

Press Modify
RIP Mode:	This parameter determines how RIP (Routing Information
	Protocol) is handled. RIP allows it to exchange routing
	information with other routers. If set to Disable, the gateway
	does not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers.
	If set to Enable, the router broadcasts the routing table of the
	router on the LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other
	routers into it’s routing table. If set to silent, the router does
	not broadcast the routing table, but it accepts RIP broadcast
	packets that it receives.
