C ONFIGURING IP N ETWORK I NFORMATION
Configuring IP Network Subnet Information
f. Select the RIP Respond Control. This element controls how the system responds to IP RIP
requests on the interface. The following table defines possible choices for IP RIP respond
control.
g. Enter the RIP v2 Auth Password. Used if this interface requires authentication. The
authentication password is a user-defined password, 1-16 characters in length. A blank
space is not a valid password.
h. Select the Host Routes Propagation. (For WAN interfaces only.) This controls how IP RIP
packets will be propagated. The default value is Host Routes Propagation disabled (no
check mark). With the default, WAN local routes are propagated as subnetwork routes. If
Host routes propagation is enabled (with a check mark), host routes will be propagated on
other network interfaces only while each remote IP device is connected to the selected
system ID.
When the IP RIP host propagation scheme is enabled, it will allow multiple systems on the
same LAN to work properly. IP RIP information is then advertised as multiple host routes
as they connect to the selected system ID.
CONFIGURING IP NETWORK SUBNET STATIC ROUTES
You only need to configure static routing entries for systems that need to access a WAN network
that is not directly connected to the system, or if the system needs to access a LAN network through
a router that does not support IP RIP. Static routes specify the IP address of the next hop router or
gateway that provides access to this subnet.
Remember that when configuring static routes through the IP network viewpoint, you are
configuring the static routes that lead to this subnet.
Switch Meaning
Do Not Respond No RIP requests are responded to.
RIP Version 1 Only Responds only to RIP requests compliant with RFC
1058.
RIP Version 2 Only Responds only to RIP v2 requests compliant with
RFC 1723.
RIP Version 1 or
Version 2
Responds with the same RIP version format as the
version of the request.
