Configuring Routing Information Protocol (Rip) - NETGEAR FVS318G - ProSafe Gigabit VPN Firewall Data Sheet Router Reference Manual

Configuring Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks (LANs). It allows a router to exchange its routing information
automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing tables and adapt to
changes in the network. RIP is disabled by default.
To configure RIP parameters:
1. Select Network Configuration > Routing from the main menu.
2. Click the RIP Configuration link to the right of the tab. The RIP Configuration menu is
displayed.

3. From the RIP Direction pull-down menu, choose the direction in which the VPN firewall will
send and receive RIP packets. The choices are:
• None. The VPN firewall neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP
packets from other routers. This effectively disables RIP.
