RIP Version
Enables/disables support for RIP (Routing Information Protocol). When enabled,
routing information will be exchanged with other devices.
Choices:
• Version 1: Supports RIP version 1.
• Version 2: Supports RIP version 2.
• V.2, compatible to V.1: Supports RIP version 2 that is version 1 compatible (implies
broadcasting RIP-2 updates).
• Disable: Disables RIP support.
RIP Policy
Defines how route updates, requests, and responses are managed. Choices:
• Silent: RIP accepts updates from other systems, but will not respond to requests or
send updates.
• Periodic: RIP sends a complete update to all neighbors and replies to all incoming
requests (LAN only). This is how RIP operates normally.
• IfConnected: Allow RIP updates only if connected.
Default: Silent.
RIP Update
Defines the amount of time to wait (in seconds) between sending updates to peers.
• 30 seconds when in LAN profile or X25 profile.
• 60 seconds when in PPP profile where POLICY is SILENT or IFCONNECTED.
• 120 seconds when in PPP profile where POLICY is PERIODIC or SNAPSHOT.
Default: 30
Route Merging
Enables/disables RIP route merging. When enabled, RIP merges all similar routes to
reduce the routing table size and save memory.
Default: Disabled.
