Ipv4 Dynamic Route Settings - HP R110 Configuration And Administration Manual

Interface
The VLAN interface used to route data to the network specified by the destination network
address.
Metric
A number used to indicate the cost of a route so that the best route, among potentially multiple
routes to the same destination, can be selected.

IPv4 Dynamic route settings

The router supports the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP allows an administrator to set up
routing information on one RIP-enabled device, and have that routing information replicated to
all RIP-enabled devices on the network. The router supports RIP version 1 and RIP version 2
protocols. RIP is the most widely used method for dynamically maintaining routing tables. RIP
uses a distance vector-based approach to routing. Routes are chosen to minimize the distance
vector, or hop count, which serves as a rough estimate of transmission cost. Each router
broadcasts its advertisement every 30 seconds, together with any updates to its routing table.
This allows all routers on the network to build consistent tables of next hop links which lead to
relevant subnets. The default setting is Disabled.
This page includes the following settings:
Enable RIP
Enables RIP on the router.
Enable Auto Summary
Enables Auto-Summarization on the router. Auto-Summarization sends simplified routing data to
other RIP devices rather than the full routing data. Note that this only applies to RIP version 2 as
RIP version 1 always uses automatic summarization.
Interface
The VLAN or WAN interface on the router for which RIP can be enabled.
Operation Mode
The router offers two modes of RIP operation.
•
Disable: RIP is not enabled for the interface.
