Configuring router settings
5
a. Click the Add button to create a new table entry.
b. Highlight an entry and click the Del (delete) button to remove an entry.
c. Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the internal
static route.
d. Select an enabled subnet from the Interface(s) column’s drop-down menu to complete the
table entry. Information in the Metric column is a user-defined value (from 1 to 65535)
used by router protocols to determine the best hop routes.
6. Click the Apply button to save the changes.
7. Click Logout to securely exit the access point applet. A prompt displays confirming the logout
before the applet is closed.
Setting the RIP Configuration
To set the RIP configuration:
1. From within the RIP Configuration field, select the RIP Type from the drop-down menu. The
following options are available:
2. Select a routing direction from the RIP Direction drop-down menu. Both (for both directions), Rx
only (receive only), and TX only (transmit only) are available options.
3. If RIP v2 or RIP v2 (v1 compat) is the selected RIP type, the RIP v2 Authentication field
becomes active. Select the type of authentication to use from the Authentication Type
drop-down menu. Available options include:
No RIP The No RIP option prevents the access point’s router from exchanging
routing information with other routers. Routing information may not be
appropriate to share, for example, if the access point manages a private
LAN.
RIP v1 RIP version 1 is a mature, stable, and widely supported protocol. It is well
suited for use in stub networks and in small autonomous systems that do
not have enough redundant paths to warrant the overhead of a more
sophisticated protocol.
RIP v2 (v1 compat) RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension of RIP v1’s
capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP version 1. RIP version 2
increases the amount of packet information to provide the a simple
authentication mechanism to secure table updates.
RIP v2 RIP version 2 enables the use of a simple authentication mechanism to
secure table updates. More importantly, RIP version 2 supports subnet
masks, a critical feature not available in RIP version 1. This selection is not
compatible with RIP version 1 support.
None This option disables the RIP authentication.
Simple This option enable RIP version 2’s simple authentication mechanism. This
setting activates the Password (Simple Authentication) field.
MD5 This option enables the MD5 algorithm for data verification. MD5 takes as
input a message of arbitrary length and produces a 128-bit fingerprint. The
MD5 setting activates the RIP v2 Authentication settings for keys (below).
