5.4.1 Setting the RIP Configuration

To set the RIP configuration:
1. From within the RIP Configuration field, select the RIP Type from the drop-down menu. The
following options are available:
No RIP
RIP v1
RIP v2 (v1 compat)
RIP v2
2. Select a routing direction from the
directions),
The No RIP option prevents the access point's router from
exchanging routing information with other routers. Routing
information may not be appropriate to share, for example, if the
access point manages a private LAN.
RIP version 1 is a mature, stable, and widely supported protocol. It
is well suited for use in stub networks and in small autonomous
systems that do not have enough redundant paths to warrant the
overhead of a more sophisticated protocol.
RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension of RIP v1's
capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP version 1. RIP version
2 increases the amount of packet information to provide the a
simple authentication mechanism to secure table updates.
RIP version 2 enables the use of a simple authentication
mechanism to secure table updates. More importantly, RIP version
2 supports subnet masks, a critical feature not available in RIP
version 1. This selection is not compatible with RIP version 1
support.
