Advanced Setup Method
RIP Parameter
The device supports RIP v1 and v2 to dynamically exchange routing
information with adjacent routers.
Parameter Description
General RIP Parameters
RIP mode: Globally enables or disables RIP.
Auto summary: If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP packets will
include sub-network information from all sub-net works connected
to the ADSL Router. If enabled, this sub-network information will be
summarized to one piece of information covering all sub-networks.
Table of current Interface RIP parameter:
Interface: The WAN interface to be configured.
Operation Mode:
Disable: RIP disabled on this interface.
Enable: RIP enabled on this interface.
Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its route table. It
does not participate in sending route broadcasts.

Advanced Setup Method
Version: Sets the RIP version to use on this interface.
Poison Reverse: A method for preventing loops that would cause
endless retransmission of data traffic.
Authentication Required: None, No authentication.
Password: A password authentication key is included in the packet.
If this does not match what is expected, the packet will be discarded.
This method provides very little security as it is possible to learn the
authentication key by watching RIP packets.
MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data integrity through the
creation of a 128-bitmessage digest from data input (which may be a
message of any length) that is claimed to be as unique to that specific
data as a fingerprint is to a specific individual.
Authentication Code: Password or MD5 Authentication key.
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular intervals and when
the network topology changes. When a router receives a routing
update that includes changes to an entry, it updates its routing table
to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the best route to
a destination. After updating its routing table, the router immediately
begins transmitting routing updates to inform other network routers of
the change.
