CHAPTER 10 Advanced Configuration

RIP Configuration

RIP CONFIGURATION

RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your network via the ADSL line. Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.
