DESCRIPTION
Select this check box to turn on RIP (Routing Information Protocol), which
allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router
to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field
controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction
from Both/In Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the
device broadcasts its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only,
it incorporates the RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it does
not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received. Both is the
default.
The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of
the RIP packets that the device 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 sends the routing data in RIP-2
format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-
2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on non-router
machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and
so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting,
then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP
direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.
