5. Use the User Defined Routes field to add or delete static routes.
The User Defined Routes field allows the administrator to view, add or delete internal static
(dedicated) routes.
a. Click the Add button to create a new table entry.
b. Highlight an entry and click the Del (delete) button to remove an entry.
c. Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the
internal static route.
d. Select an enabled subnet from the Interface(s) column’s drop-down menu to complete
the table entry. Information in the Metric column is a user-defined value (from 1 to
65535) used by router protocols to determine the best hop routes.
6. Click the Apply button to save the changes.
7. Click Logout to securely exit the AP-5131 Symbol Access Point applet. A prompt displays

5.4.1 Setting the RIP Configuration
To set the RIP configuration:
1. From within the RIP Configuration field, select the RIP Type from the drop-down menu. The
following options are available:
No RIP The No RIP option disallows the AP-5131’s router from exchanging
routing information with other routers. Routing information may
not be appropriate to share, for example, if the AP-5131 manages
a private LAN.
RIP v1 RIP version 1 is a mature, stable, and widely supported protocol. It
is well suited for use in stub networks and in small autonomous
systems that do not have enough redundant paths to warrant the
overhead of a more sophisticated protocol.
RIP v2 (v1 compat) RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension of RIP v1’s
capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP version 1. RIP version
2 increases the amount of packet information to provide the a
simple authentication mechanism to secure table updates.
