13.3 RIP protocol
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a routing protocol which enables each router belonging to a
network to acquire the routes to any subnet.
The principle is as follows :
Routing table
Each router holds a routing table.
Each entry of the table consists in the destination subnet address and the adjacent router address
leading to that subnet.
Routing table broadcasting :
Each router broadcasts its table.
Routing table update :
Each router updates its own table using the tables received from the other ones.
To enable RIP,
• select the « Setup» menu, the “Routing” menu and then the “RIP” menu».
• Select the ‘
Enable RIP on LAN interface” and the “Enable RIP on WAN interface” options.
