Step 3.
RIP Mode:
This parameter determines how the
product handle RIP (Routing information
protocol). RIP allows it to exchange
routing information with other router.
If set to Disable, the gateway does not
participate in any RIP exchange with
other router.
If set Enable, the router broadcasts the
routing table of the router on the LAN and
incoporates RIP broadcast by other
routers into it’s routing table.
If set silent, the router does not
broadcast the routing table, but it accepts
RIP broadcast packets that it receives.
Step 4.
RIP Version: It determines the format
and broadcasting method of any RIP
transmissions by the gateway.
RIP v1: it only sends RIP v1 messages
only.
RIP v2: it send RIP v2 messages in
multicast and broadcast format.
Step 5.
Authentication required:
None: for RIP, there is no need of
authentication code.
Password: the RIP is protected by
password, authentication code.
MD5: The RIP will be decoded by MD5
than protected by password,
authentication code.
Step 6.
Poison Reserve is for the purpose of
promptly broadcast or multicast the RIP
while the route is changed. (ex shuting
down one of the routers in routing table)
Enable: the gateway will actively
broadcast or multicast the information.
Disable: the gateway will not broadcast
or multicast the information.
Step 7.
After modifying the RIP parameters, press OK . Check the settings are correct and then press finish.
