Setting Description
RIP RIP is an Internet protocol that you can
set up to share routing table information
with:
¾ LAN devices that support RIP
¾ Remote networks connected via
the ADSL line
¾ Your ISP’s location
Most small home or office networks do
not need to use RIP since they have
only one 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.
You may want to configure RIP if any
of the following circumstances apply to
your network:
¾ Your home network setup
includes an additional router or
RIP-enabled PC or device.
These routers will need to
communicate via RIP to share
their routing table information.
¾ Your network connects via the
ADSL line to a remote network,
such as a corporate network. In
order for your modem to learn
the routes used within your
corporate network, they should
both be configured with RIP.
¾ Your ISP requests that you run
RIP for communication with
devices on their network
