Field		Description
TCP/IP Setup (continued)
RIP Direction		This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
		Information Protocol). If set to Both (default), the router broadcasts the
		routing table of the router on the LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts
		by other routers into its routing table. If set to In Only, the router
		broadcasts its routing table on the LAN. If set to Out Only, the router
		broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP broadcast packets
		that it receives. If set to None, the router does not participate in any RIP
		exchange with other routers. Usually, you should leave this parameter
		at the default (Both) and let RIP propagate the routing information
		automatically.
RIP Version		This field determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information
		Protocol).
		The following RIP options are supported by the Model RT328/RH348
		router:
		• RIP-1—The router will accept and send RIP-1 messages only.
		• RIP-2B—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both
		broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in broadcast
		format.
		• RIP-2M—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both
		broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in multicast
		format.
		For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-2B. Select
		RIP-1 if other connected routers or workstations have problems with
		RIP-2. Select RIP-2M only in a pure RIP-2 environment.
