The RIP Tab
The RIP tab sets up the properties of the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and configures the
way Rip messages are sent to other routers.
The Datacryptor Ethernet supports versions RIP-1 and RIP-2.
RIP Compatibility
This set of radio buttons is used to select which version of RIP that the Datacryptor Ethernet is
using:
• Off - this switches off compatibility with any version of RIP. No RIP messages
transmitted on any port.
• RIP 1 - select this if you wish the Datacryptor to be compatible with the first version of
RIP. This version of RIP only uses broadcasts to pass on information.
• RIP 2 (multicast) - this sets the Datacryptor to be compatible with RIP version 2 when
used in multicast mode. The multicast mode was implemented with the more versatile
RIP 2.
