Dynamic routing using the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) that is common in LANs. With RIP this controller can exchange
routing information with other supported controllers in the LAN and allow for
dynamic adjustment of routing tables in order to adapt to modifications in the LAN
without interrupting traffic flow.
The RIP direction will define how this controller sends and receives RIP packets.
Choose between:

Both: The controller both broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP
information received from other controllers. This is the recommended setting
in order to fully utilize RIP capabilities.

Out Only: The controller broadcasts its routing table periodically but does
not accept RIP information from other controllers.

In Only: The controller accepts RIP information from other controller, but
does not broadcast its routing table.

None: The controller neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any
RIP packets from other controllers. This effectively disables RIP.

Disabled: This is the setting when RIP is disabled.
RIP-1 is a class-based routing version that does not include subnet information. This
is the most commonly supported version.
RIP-2 includes all the functionality of RIPv1 plus it supports subnet information.
Though the data is sent in RIP -2 format for both RIP-2B and RIP-2M, the mode in
which packets are sent is different. RIP-2B broadcasts data in the entire subnet while
RIP-2M sends data to multicast addresses.

The RIP version is dependent on the RIP support of other routing
devices in the LAN.
