DESCRIPTION
Select the RIP version from the drop-down list box. Choices are RIP-1, RIP-2B and RIP-
2M.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that
the switch sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally
supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Click Apply to save your changes to the switch's run-time memory. The switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel
to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Click Cancel to begin configuring the fields again.
