11.3.1 Dynamic Routing
The abbreviation of Routing Information Protocol is RIP. There are two kinds of RIP in the IP
environment – RIP I and RIP II. Since there is usually only one router in a network, ordinarily just
Static Routing will be used. RIP is used when there is more than one router in a network, and if an
administrator doesn’t want to assign a path list one by one to all of the routers, RIP can help
refresh the paths.
RIP is a very simple routing protocol, in which Distance Vector is used. Distance Vector
determines transmission distance in accordance with the number of routers, rather than based on
actual session speed. Therefore, sometimes it will select a path through the least number of
routers, rather than through the fastest routers.
Working Mode:
Select the working mode of the device: NAT mode or
Router mode.
RIP:
Click ―Enabled‖ to open the RIP function.
Receive RIP versions:
Use Up/Down button to select one of ―None， RIPv1，
RIPv2，Both RIPv1 and v2‖ as the ―TX‖ function for
transmitting dynamic RIP.
Transmit RIP versions:
Use Up/Down button to select one of ―None，RIPv1，
RIPv2-Broadcast，RIPv2-Multicast‖ as the ―RX‖
function for receiving dynamic RIP.
11.3.2 Static Routing
When there are more than one router and IP subnets, the routing mode for the device should
be configured as static routing. Static routing enables different network nodes to seek necessary
paths automatically. It also enables different network nodes to access each other. Click the button
