1.1.5 Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
With the release of the 1.1 version access point, Routing Information Protocol (RIP) functionality has
been added to the existing Router screen. RIP is an interior gateway protocol that specifies how
routers exchange routing-table information. The parent Router screen also allows the administrator
to select the type of RIP and the type of RIP authentication used.
For detailed information on configuring RIP functionality as part of the access point’s Router
functionality, see Setting the RIP Configuration on page 5-58.
1.1.6 Manual Date and Time Settings
As an alternative to defining a NTP server to provide access point system time, the access point can
now have its date and time set manually. A new Manual Date/Time Setting screen can be used to set
the access point time using a Year-Month-Day HH:MM:SS format.
For detailed information on manually setting the access point’s system time, see Configuring Network
Time Protocol (NTP) on page 4-31.
