Router Mode
The available settings for router mode are as follows:
Disabled — The Switch ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not
generate any RIP packets of its own.
Enabled — The Switch broadcasts RIP updates and processes
incoming RIP packets.
Update Time
This Switch sends a RIP message every 30 seconds (by default) with both
the IP address and a metric (the distance to the destination from that
router) for each destination. You can modify the update time if needed to
adjust performance.
Send and Receive Modes
The following RIP send and receive modes are supported by the Switch:
