set ip ethernet A rip-send

{ off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-MD5 }

Speciﬁes whether the Netopia Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

broadcasts to advertise its routing tables to other routers on your network. RIP Version 2

(RIP-2) is an extension of the original Routing Information Protocol (RIP-1) that expands the

amount of useful information in the RIP packets. While RIP-1 and RIP-2 share the same

basic algorithms, RIP-2 supports several additional features, including inclusion of subnet

masks in RIP packets and implementation of multicasting instead of broadcasting (which

reduces the load on hosts which do not support routing protocols. RIP-2 with MD5 authen-

tication is an extension of RIP-2 that increases security by requiring an authentication key

when routes are advertised.

If you specify v2-MD5, you must also specify a rip-send-key. Keys are ASCII strings with a

maximum of 31 characters, and must match the other router(s) keys for proper operation

of MD5 support.

Depending on your network needs, you can conﬁgure your Netopia Gateway to support RIP-

1, RIP-2, or RIP-2MD5.

set ip ethernet A rip-receive { off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-MD5 }

Speciﬁes whether the Netopia Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

broadcasts to update its routing tables with information received from other routers on

your network.

If you specify v2-MD5, you must also specify a rip-receive-key. Keys are ASCII strings

with a maximum of 31 characters, and must match the other router(s) keys for proper oper-

ation of MD5 support.

Default IP Gateway Settings

set ip gateway option { on | off }

Speciﬁes whether the Netopia Gateway should send packets to a default Gateway if it does

not know how to reach the destination host.
