The Enable Password field sets the password to be used for the enable command of ripd. This is used by the telnet interface of ripd to control access to the configuration.

The Telnet Password field sets the password to be used for telnet access to ripd. This is used as the login password of ripd when locally telnetting to port 2604 of the router.

The Hostname field sets the hostname for the rip daemon. This value is only used as a a reference for convenience. The telnet interface prompt will contain this hostname. The router's system wide hostname is used if this field is left blank.

The Default-Information Originate field, when enabled, causes the router to advertise its default route to the RIP network.

The Default Metric field sets the default metric to be used for RIP routes which don't have another metric specified.

The Distance field sets the administrative distance to use for all routes unless overridden by other distance settings.
