The IP address and subnet mask identify which addresses are local to a specific device and which must be
reached through a gateway or router.
7. Change the RIP settings.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers.
a. Select the RIP direction:
• Both. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates information that it receives.
• Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
• In Only. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b. Select the RIP version:
• Disabled. This is the default setting.
• RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you are using an
unusual network setup.
• RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2
format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
