Rip (Routing Information Protocol) - Encore EN2HWI-N3 User Manual

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

 Enable RIP: Enable RIP if the LAN has multiple routers or if the LAN has other hosts
that listen for RIP messages, such as auto-IP devices or the Windows XP RIP Listener
Service.
 Accept updates: The "Accept RIP Updates" option controls whether the router updates
its routing tables when it receives RIP messages from other LAN devices. Disable
"Accept RIP Updates" if not needed or if RIP messages could originate from an insecure
device on the LAN. Enable "Accept RIP Updates" only if operation of your network
requires updates from other routers, and if you have assured the security of RIP
messages on your network.
 RIP Operating mode: The EN2HWI-N3 supports both version 2 and version 1 of the
RIP specification.
V1: Click it if none of the routers supports Version 2.
V2 Broadcast: Click it if some routers are capable of Version 2, but some are only
capable of Version 1.
V2 Multicast: Click it if the routers are support Version 2.
 Router Metric: The additional cost of routing a packet through this router. The normal
value for a simple network is 1. This metric is added to routes learned from other routers;
it is not added to static or system routes.
