RIP Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the
Internet Appliance (IA). RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol for use in small
networks. RIP is described in RFC 1723. A router running RIP broadcasts updates at set
intervals. Each update contains paired values where each pair consists of an IP network
address and an integer distance to that network. RIP uses a hop count metric to measure
the distance to a destination.
The IA provides support for RIP Version 1 and 2. The IA implements plain text and MD5
authentication methods for RIP Version 2.
The protocol independent features that apply to RIP are described in
Routing Configuration Guide."
