3-14 LAN Configuration
v1.0, March 2008
•None – the router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP packets
from other routers. This effectively disables RIP.
4. Select the RIP Version from the pull-down menu:
•RIP-1 – classful routing and does not include subnet information. This is the most
commonly supported version.
•RIP-2 – supports subnet information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in
RIP-2 format:
•RIP-2B – uses subnet broadcasting.
•RIP-2M – uses multicasting (see Note below).
5. RIP authentication is disabled by default. To enable authentication for RIP-2B or RIP-2M,
a. Check the Yes radio button.
b. Input MD5 keys and effective and end dates for the First Key Parameters and Second
Key Parameters for MD5 based authentication betwe en routers.
6. Click Apply to save your settings.
Note: Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router machines because they do
not listen to the RIP multicast address and will not receive the RIP packets.
However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network
must use multicasting. For RIP-2B and RIP-2M you ca n select the type of
authentication as NONE or MD5. If you select MD5 then you need to enter
additional parameters.
