Dynamic routing protocols

Network > Routing
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate
between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an
example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network
to access the other network. If you have other routing devices that support dynamic
routing protocol, you can enable these routing protocols on your router to learn and
automatically generate the routes needed between these networks.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Network > Routing > RIP
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 8).
2. Click on Network, click on Routing, and click on the RIP tab.
3. Review the RIP Routing section. To save changes to this section, click Apply to
command save your changes.
 RIP enable: Check the option to enable the RIP dynamic routing protocol globally
on the router.
In the Overview table, you can enable and configure RIP for each interface by clicking
Edit next to the interface.

 RIP enable: Check the option to enable RIP on the specified interface.
 RIP version: Click the drop-down list and select the appropriate RIP version v1 or
v2.
Note: If selecting RIP v2, this requires basic password authentication between
routing devices using this protocol. The password must match on all routing
devices connected in order successfully exchange routing information.
 Redistribute: Select the method used to redistribute dynamic routing
information. The Kernel option should be left on as this option
advertises/announces that the router can provide network routing information
using RIP. The OSPF option allows the router to learn new routing information
using the RIPv1/2 protocols and redistribute the routing information using OSPF
protocol.
 Send version – Select the RIP protocol version to send.
 Receive version – Select the RIP protocol version to receive.
 Authentication – Enables MD5 authentication on all RIP messages sent and
received.
 Key string – If authentication is enabled, enter the authentication key
string/password to use for RIP messages sent and received.
 Plain text password – This option will set the password to be send in clear text
instead of using the MD5 hash. This setting is not recommended.
You can check the current routing table under Status > Routes under Active IPv6-
Routes.
