DESCRIPTION
Select this option to activate RIP on the ZyXEL Device.
Specify the RIP version the ZyXEL Device is to use.
Select V1 if the other routers do not support RIP version 2.
Select V2 Broadcast if some routers support RIP version 1 and some support RIP
version 2.
Select V2 Multicast if the ZyXEL Device is the only router on your network or that
tall other routers support RIP version 2 only.
The metric represents the "cost" of transmission through the ZyXEL Device. IP
routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for
directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this
link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice,
2 or 3 is usually a good number.
Select this option to allow the ZyXEL Device to send/receive RIP packets through
the WAN port for RIP information update.
It is recommended that you disable this option unless requested to do so by your
ISP.
When you set the ZyXEL Device to use RIP version 2, you may enter a password
to allow only authorized RIP packets to the ZyXEL Device.
Enter the password if provided by your ISP.
Enter the password again to confirm.
