Advanced Routing Information Protocol Setup Page

This page allows you to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP) parameters related to
authentication, destination IP address/subnet mask, and reporting intervals. RIP automatically
identifies and uses the best known and quickest route to any given destination address. To help
reduce network congestion and delays, the Advanced RIP setup is used in WAN networks to
identify and use the best known and quickest route to given destination addresses.
RIP is a protocol that requires negotiation from both sides of the network (i.e., CMRG and
CMTS). The ISP would normally set this up to match their CMTS settings with the configuration
in the CMRG.
Note: RIP messaging will only be sent upstream when running in Static IP
Addressing mode on the Basic Setup page. You must enable Static IP
Addressing and then set the WAN IP network information! RIP is normally a
function that is tightly controlled via the ISP. RIP Authentication Keys and IDs are
normally held as secret information from the end user to prevent unauthorized
RIP settings.
