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.
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.
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.
