9.5 RIP Overview

Routing Information Protocol (RIP, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows the Zyxel Device to exchange routing
information with other routers. To activate RIP for the WAN interface, select the supported RIP version
and operation.

DESCRIPTION
This is the index of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
The RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
Zyxel Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIPv1 is universally supported
but RIPv2 carries more information. RIPv1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network topology. When set to Both, the Zyxel Device will broadcast its routing
table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives
Select Passive to have the Zyxel Device update the routing table based on the RIP packets
received from neighbors but not advertise its route information to other routers in this interface.
Select Active to have the Zyxel Device advertise its route information and also listen for routing
updates from neighboring routers.
Select the check box to activate the settings.
Select the check box to set the Zyxel Device to not send the route information to the default
gateway.
