RIP

Overview

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a routing protocol used with almost every TCP/IP implementation. Its function is to pass routing information from a router or gateway to a neighboring router(s) or gateway(s). RIP messages contain information about destinations which can be reached and the number of hops which are required. The hop-count is the basic metric of RIP and so RIP is referred to as a ’distance vector protocol.’ RIP messages are carried in UDP datagrams.

Functionality

You can configure RIP to selectively advertise networks remotely connected via a SLIP/PPP link on the Ethernet connection, and pass RIP routing information to remotely connected clients. As this can be undesirable in some environments, this behavior can be configured and is defaulted to the non-routing behavior.

Transmission and reception of Routing Information Protocol (RIP) packets over PPP and SLIP connections can be configured on a per user basis or on a per serial port basis.

The Routing parameter can be configured:

zOn the Advanced tab for Remote Access (PPP) and Remote Access (SLIP) profiles configured for a serial port to determine the exchange of RIP packets between the IOLAN and remotely connected users connected from the serial side.

zOn the Services tab for each local user to determine the exchange of RIP packets between the IOLAN and remotely connected users connected from the serial side.

zBy the RADIUS server for users authenticated by RADIUS, the RADIUS-defined Framed-Routingparameter determines the exchange of RIP packets.

There are four options for setting the Routing parameters:

zNone—Routing information is not exchanged across the link. This is the default setting for a line and a locally defined user.

zSend—Routing information is only transmitted to the remote user.

zListen—Routing information is only received from the remote user.

zSend and Listen—Routing information is transmitted to and received from the remote user.

The local User Routing parameter or RADIUS Framed-Routingparameter, if set, override the serial port Routing parameter for a connection.
