RIP Parameter
The device supports RIP v1 and v2 to dynamically exchange routing information with adjacent routers.
Parameter Description
General RIP Parameters
RIP mode: Globally enables or disables RIP
Auto summary: If Auto summary is disabled, then RIP
packets will include sub-network information from
all sub-net works connected to the ADSL Router.
If enabled, this sub-network information will be
summarized to one piece of information covering all
sub-networks.
Table of current Interface RIP parameter:
Interface: The WAN interface to be configured.
Operation Mode: Disable: RIP disabled on this
interface.
Enable: RIP enabled on this interface.
Silent: Listens for route broadcasts and updates its
route table.It does not participate in sending route
broadcasts.
Version: Sets the RIP version to use on this interface.
Poison Reverse: A method for preventing loops that
would cause endless retransmission of data traffic.
Authentication Required: None: No authentication.
Password: A password authentication key is
included in the packet. If this does not match what is
expected, the packet will be discarded.
This method provides very little security as it is
possible to learn the authentication key by watching
RIP packets.
MD5: An algorithm that is used to verify data integrity
through the creation of a 128-bit message digest from
data input (which may be a message of any length)
that is claimed to be as unique to that specific data as
a fingerprint is to a specific individual.
Authentication Code: Password or MD5
Authentication key.
RIP sends routing-update messages at regular
intervals and when the network topology changes.
When a router receives a routing update that includes
changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to
ref lect the new route. RIP routers maintain only the
best route to a destination. After updating its routing
table, the router immediately begins transmitting
routing updates to inform other network routers of
the change.
