Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway
Description
This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
Information Protocol). RIP allows the router to exchange routing
information with other routers. If set to None (default), the router does
not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers. If set to Both, the
router broadcasts the routing table of the router on the LAN and
incorporates RIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing table. If set
to In Only, the router broadcasts its routing table on the LAN. If set to
Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP
broadcast packets that it receives. Usually, you should leave this
parameter at the default (None)
This field determines the format and broadcasting method of any RIP
(Routing Information Protocol) transmissions by the router. The following
RIP options are supported by the Model DG814 gateway:
• RIP-1—The router sends RIP-1 messages only.
• RIP-2B—The router sends RIP-2 messages in broadcast format.
• RIP-2M—The router sends RIP-2 messages in multicast format.
For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-1.
