IP ROUTING

Web - Click Routing Protocol, RIP, Interface Settings. Select the RIP protocol message types that will be received and sent, the method used to provide faster convergence and prevent loopback (i.e., prevent instability in the network topology), and the authentication option and corresponding password. Then click Apply.

CLI - This example sets the receive version to accept both RIPv1 or RIPv2 messages, the send mode to RIPv1 compatible (i.e., called

v2-broadcast in the CLI), sets the method of preventing instability in the network topology to Split Horizon, enables authentication via a simple password (i.e., called text mode in the CLI).
