Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information
with other routers.
a. Select the RIP direction:
• Both. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives.
• Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
• In Only. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b. Select the RIP version:
• Disabled. This is the default setting.
• RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks,
unless you are using an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses
multicasting.
