a Click the Add button to create a new table entry.
b Highlight an entry and click the Del (delete) button to remove an entry.
c Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the internal static
route.
d Select an enabled subnet from the Interface(s) column’s drop-down menu to complete the table
entry. Information in the Metric column is a user-defined value (from 1 to 65535) used by router
protocols to determine the best hop routes.
6 Click Apply to save the changes.
7 Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout before

Setting the RIP Configuration
To set the RIP configuration:
1 From within the RIP Configuration field, select the RIP Type from the drop-down menu. The
following options are available:
2 Select a routing direction from the RIP Direction drop-down menu. Both (for both directions), Rx only
(receive only), and TX only (transmit only) are available options.
No RIP The No RIP option prevents the access point’s router from
exchanging routing information with other routers. Routing
information may not be appropriate to share, for example,
if the access point manages a private LAN.
RIP v1 RIP version 1 is a mature, stable, and widely supported
protocol. It is well suited for use in stub networks and in
small autonomous systems that do not have enough
redundant paths to warrant the overhead of a more
sophisticated protocol.
RIP v2 (v1 compat) RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension
of RIP v1’s capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP
version 1. RIP version 2 increases the amount of packet
information to provide a simple authentication mechanism
to secure table updates.
RIP v2 RIP version 2 enables the use of a simple authentication
mechanism to secure table updates. More importantly, RIP
version 2 supports subnet masks, a critical feature not
available in RIP version 1. This selection is not compatible
with RIP version 1 support.
