Chapter 4. Configuring Special Features 81
IP (RIP) Protocol Controls
You can configure the router to send and receive RIP packet information, respectively, to and from the remote
router. This means that the local site will ÒlearnÓ all about the routes beyond the remote router and the remote
router will ÒlearnÓ all about the local siteÕs routes. You may not want this to occur in some cases. For example, if
you are connecting to a site outside your company, such as the Internet, you may want to keep knowledge about
your local siteÕs routes private.
The default is to not send or receive IP RIP packets. If RIP packets are not allowed to flow on the WAN link, you
must use the remote addiproute command (page 258) to configure static routes for this WAN link. You can also
advertise the local siteÕs existence. The default is to keep the local siteÕs existence private.
Note: RIP options can also be set for a LAN Ethernet interface. To do so, use the command eth ip options (page
243).
To set or clear RIP options for a remote, use this command:
remote setipoptions <option> on | off <remoteName>
The available options are:
rxrip Receive IP RIP packets from the remote destination
rxrip1 Receive and process RIP-1 packets only
rxrip2 Receive and process RIP-2 packet only
rxdef Receive the remote siteÕs default route
txrip Send IP RIP packets to the remote destination
txrip1 Send RIP-1 packets only
txrip2 Send RIP-2 packets only
txdef Send the local siteÕs default route
private Keep the local siteÕs existence private
multicast Send and receive IP multicast traffic
lanconfig Accept IPCP LAN configuration information
lcpecho Use periodic echo
