Manage the Router Information Protocol
Settings
Router Information Protocol (RIP) lets the router exchange routing information with other
routers. By default, RIP is enabled in both directions (in and out) without a particular RIP
version.
To manage the RIP settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. From the RIP Direction menu, select the RIP direction:
• Both. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives. This is the default setting.
• Out Only. The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
• In Only. The router incorporates the RIP information that it receives but does not
broadcast its routing table.
6. From the RIP Version menu, select the RIP version:
• Disabled. The RIP version is disabled. This is the default setting.
• RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless
you are using an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses
multicasting.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
