Send RIP advertisements every s seconds
The value in this text box specifies the interval between sending RIP packets. These packets
contain the current routes held by the router (e.g. any active PPP routes), static routes and
the default route. A value of 0 disables sending.
Mark routes as unusable if we don’t get advertisements for s seconds
The value in this text box specifies the time for which an updated metric will apply when a
RIP update is received. If no updates are received within this period, the usual metric will
take over.
Delete routes after another s seconds
The value in this text box specifies the length of time that the router will continue to
advertise this route when a RIP update timeout occurs and the route metric is 16. This
behaviour is designed to help propagate the dead route to other routers. The router will no
longer use a metric advertised by a RIP update if the route has been set out of service
locally.
Allow RIP to update static routes
When checked, this checkbox allows an incoming, matching RIP update to change the
metric of the static route. This happens when the update matches a configured static route.
Enable Poison Reverse
When checked, this checkbox enables poison reverse, to notify when a neighbouring router
is unavailable.

settings > Access Lists
The router has the ability to modify route metrics based upon received RIP responses. Static
routes and default routes will have their metric modified if the route fits within one of the
routes found within the RIP packet. For Ethernet routes, the gateway for the route will be
set to the source address of the RIP packet. The route modifications will be enforced for 180
seconds unless another RIP response is received within that time.
RIP packets must have a source address that is included in the RIP access list.
Adding permitted IP addresses to the access list is controlled using a table with the single
parameter described below.
