CONFIGURING THE ADSL ROUTER
Parameter | Description | |
Operation Mode | Disable: RIP disabled on this interface. | |
| Enable: RIP enabled on this interface. | |
| Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its | |
| route table. It does not participate in sending route | |
| broadcasts. | |
Version | Sets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) | |
| version to use on this interface. | |
Poison Reverse | A method for preventing loops that would cause | |
| endless retransmission of data traffic. | |

| • | Password: A password authentication key is |
|
| included in the packet. If this does not match |
|
| what is expected, the packet will be discarded. |

|
| is possible to learn the authentication key by |
|
| watching RIP packets. |
| • | MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data |
|
| integrity through the creation of a |
|
| message digest from data input (which may |
|
| be a message of any length) that is claimed to |

| be as unique to that specific data as a |
|
| fingerprint is to a specific individual. |
