Configuring RIP
Web version
To configure RIP on a routing interface, select RIP from the Routing Interface screen. The RIP Configuration
screen appears:
To enable RIP, select on under Operaton Mode. Off disables RIP on this interface.
1.
Select the Protocol for outgoing packets.
The options are Silent RIP—this interface
only listens and updates its route entries
based on the advertisements heard. It will not
advertise updated routes to other routers; RIP
version 1 broadcast—this interface updates
route entries based on what it hears and
advertises all known routes to other RIP 1
routers; RIP version 2 broadcast—this
interface updates route entries based on what
it hears and advertises all known routes to RIP
1 and RIP 2 routers; and RIP version 2
multicast—this interface updates routes
entries and advertises all known routes to
routers listening to RIP 2 messages using the
IP multicast address of 224.0.0.9. This
reduces the unnecessary load on those hosts
that are not listening to RIP 2 messages.
2.
To set how the routing interface handles
incoming RIP packets, set the Protocol for
incoming packets field to Ignore incoming
packets to discard all incoming packets; RIP
version 1 to accept only RIP1 packets; RIP
version 2 only to accept only RIP 2 packets;
or RIP version 1 and 2 to accept both RIP 1
and RIP 2 packets.
3.
To limit traffic through this interface, you can
increase its metric by entering a value up to
15 in the Added cost for routes using this
interface field. The default is one. The higher
the metric, the less likely it will be used in
other routes.
4.
To set a password that the interface needs to
accept RIP2 messages, check Enable Authentication and enter a password of up to 16 characters.
5.
When you are satisfied with your selections, select Apply, then OK.6.
To set other RIP settings, see RIP - Advanced Settings7.
