Use Broadcast/Multicast: Specify how the routing table is sent out. RIP-1 can only use
broadcast. RIP-2 can use multicast to reduce network traffic.
Advertise Routes: Enable or disable the Switch to advertise its own routing table.
Advertise Default Route: Enable or disable the Switch to advertise its own default route.
Accept RIP V1/V2 Updates: Configure the Switch to accept routing table from other routers.
Enabling RIP-1 can only accept RIP-1 update but enabling RIP-2 can accept RIP-1, RIP-2 or
RIP-1/RIP-2 updates.
Use Split Horizon: This allows the Switch to never propagate routes back to an interface port
from which they have been acquired.
Use Poisoned Reverse: This allows the Switch to propagate routes back to an interface port
from which they have been acquired, but set the distance vector metrics to infinity.
Send Trigger Responses: If this configuration is Yes, whenever a route gets changed, the
Switch broadcast an update message after waiting for a short random delay, but without
waiting for the periodic cycle.
