6.6 RIP
RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with other
routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or on remote networks connected to your
network via the ADSL line.
Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router, such
as the ADSL Modem, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there is no need to share routes,
because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network:
− Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC
(other than the ADSL Modem). The ADSL Modem and the router will need to
communicate via RIP to share their routing tables.
− Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a
corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your
corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP.
− Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their
network.
