approximates the cost for this link. The number
need not to be precise, but it must between 1 and
15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Announced in RIP
This parameter determines if the ADSL router
includes the router to this remote node in its RIP
broadcasts. If you choose "Yes", the router in this
remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts. If you choose "No", this
route is kept private and is not included in the RIP
broadcasts.

3.5.2.2 Dynamic Routing
Go to Interface Setup -> LAN to select the Dynamic Route from RIP1, RIP2-B, and
RIP2-M.
Explaining RIP Setup
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information
with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls how RIP packets are allowed to
enter and leave the router. Selecting Both means the router will broadcast its routing
table and incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
Selecting In Only means the router will only accept RIP packets received, not send RIP
packets. Selecting Out Only means the router will only send RIP packets, not accept
any RIP packets received. Selecting None means the router will not send any RIP
packets nor will it accept any RIP packets received.
The Dynamic Route field controls the format and the broadcasting method of RIP
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving packets.
RIP-1 is universally supported, but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is adequate
for most networks. Only consider RIP-2 if your network has unusual topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet
