RIP
RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table
information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your
ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your
network via the ADSL line.
Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP;
they have only one Router,such as the ADSL Router, and one
path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes,
because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same
ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the following
circumstances apply to your network:
−Your home network setup includes an additional Router or
RIP-enabled PC (other than the ADSL Router). The ADSL
Router and the Router will need to communicate via RIP to
share their routing tables.
−Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network,
such as a corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the
routes used within your corporate network, they should both be
configured with RIP.
−Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with
devices on their network.
