Interfaces

RIP Configures routing information protocol (RIP) on this interface.

Submenu Description

Mode

1 If RIP/MODE is off, PROTOCOL, METHOD, and UPDATE will not be visible.

Allows RIP to be enabled or disabled on a per-interface basis, as follows:

Tx Only RIP advertisements are periodically transmitted, but are not

listened to on this virtual circuit.

Rx Only RIP advertisements are not transmitted on this virtual circuit, but

they are listened to.

Tx and Rx RIP advertisements are periodically transmitted and are listened

to on this virtual circuit.

Protocol

2 If RIP V2 is used, a user-defined secret may have to be created.

Sets the version of RIP being used on this interface. The options are RIP V1 and

RIP V2. If RIP V2 is used, a new menu, AUTHENTICATION, opens.

Method

Defines the method used to send RIP route advertisements, as follows:

None All routes in the router table are advertised through this interface

with no modification of the routing metric.

Split HorizonOnly advertises routes not learned through this interface.

Poison

Reverse

All routes are advertised, but the routes learned through this

interface are “poisoned” with an infinite route metric.

Updates

Defines when RIP advertisements are transmitted.

Periodic RIP advertisements are periodically transmitted.

Triggered RIP advertisements are transmitted only when new routes are

learned, and learned routes do not age.

Authentication

Defines the secret used to advertise routes when using RIP V2.

Redistribute Default

Gateway

Enables or disables the transmission of the Default Gateway to be sent with RIP

on a per interface basis.
