Section 7 - Advanced Setup

RIP

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a process of moving a packet from one node to another by forwarding the packet
to the next router. It determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination routers.
If RIP is enabled, the router operation can be
configured as active or passive. Click Apply
to save any changes.
If RIP is set to active, the router will advertise
its routes (reachability information) to others;
if RIP is set to passive, the router will not
advertise its routes, but will listen and
update its routes based on other routers'
advertisements.
