Field Description
Enable RIP Enables RIP. Any RIP-enabled router:
•
•
•
Protocol Sets the RIP version:
• RIP v1 (UDP protocol)
• RIP v2 (multicast protocol)
• RIP v1 compatible (UDP protocol with multicast format)
Routers using RIP v1 or a compatible protocol can communicate with each other, but not to routers
using RIP v2.
Enable (Optional) RIP v2 enables simple plain-text password-based authentication for RIP packets. It is
Password disabled if RIP v1 is selected.
Password The password can have up to 16 characters.
Interface Normally, when it is enabled on a router, RIP dynamically provides routes on all configured interfaces.
On the RSGu3500, you can select which routes are distributed through the network:

Sends automatic update packets containing its routing table periodically (every 30 seconds)
Adds, deletes, or modifies routes in its routing table based on periodic updates from other routers
Responds to requests for its routing table
LAN — Sets the direction in which RIP messages are sent on the LAN interface
WAN — Sets the direction in which RIP messages are sent on the WAN interface
Both — receive and send updates to the routing table to other routers on the interface
In — receive but do not send routing updates on that interface
Out — send but do not receive routing updates on the interface
None — do not send or receive routing updates through the interface
