Configuring IP Routing
Managing the routing table
2-22 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
Or, if you do not want the Pipeline to transmit its WAN connections to the
RIP-v1 routers on the local subnet:
RIP=Recv-v1
3
Set Ignore Def Rt to Yes.
The default route specifies a static route to another IP router, which is often a
local router such as another Pipeline. When the Ignore Def Rt parameter is
set to Yes (recommended), RIP updates do not modify the default route in
the Pipeline routing table.

Close and save the profile.
Configuring RIP-v2 on Ethernet
To turn on RIP-v2 on the local Ethernet:
1
Open the Ethernet > Mod Config > Ether Options menu.
2
Turn on the RIP parameter.
For example:
RIP=Both-v2
This setting means that the Pipeline transmits and receives RIP-v2 updates
on the local Ethernet. If you do not want the Pipeline to be informed about
local routing changes (for example, if all local routing is handled by a default
router), you can use the following setting instead:
RIP=Send-v2
3
Set Ignore Def Rt to Yes.
The default route specifies a static route to another IP router, which is often a
local router such as a Cisco or another Pipeline. When the Ignore Def Rt
parameter is set to Yes (recommended), RIP updates will not modify the
default route in the Pipeline routing table.
4
Close and save the profile.
Configuring RIP for incoming WAN connections
Many sites turn off RIP on the WAN interface because it can cause very large
local routing tables. If RIP is enabled to both send and receive RIP updates over
the WAN interface, the Pipeline broadcasts its routing table to the remote
network and listens for RIP updates from that network. Gradually, all routers on
