9.12 The RIP Screen

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a device to
exchange routing information with other routers. Use the RIP screen to specify
the authentication method and maintain the policies for redistribution.
First, the Authentication field specifies how to verify that the routing information
that is received is the same routing information that is sent.
Second, the ZyWALL can also redistribute routing information from non-RIP
networks, specifically OSPF networks and static routes, to the RIP network. Costs
might be calculated differently, however, so you use the Metric field to specify the
cost in RIP terms.

DESCRIPTION
This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination.
Routing is always based on network number. If you need to specify a
route to a single host, use a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 in the
subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host
ID.
Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop
gateway. The gateway is a router or switch on the same segment as your
ZyWALL's interface(s). The gateway helps forward packets to their
destinations.
Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the
traffic is sent.
Metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing purposes. IP
routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1
for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the
cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be 0~127.
In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
