DESCRIPTION
This is the index of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
The RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP
version 1 is universally supported but RIP version 2 carries more information. RIP
version 1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual
network topology.
Select Passive to have the Device update the routing table based on the RIP
packets received from neighbors but not advertise its route information to other
routers in this interface.
Select Active to have the Device advertise its route information and also listen for
routing updates from neighboring routers.
Select the check box to activate the settings.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the Device.
