◆ The 11n Router supports RIP 1 and RIP 2 dynamic routing protocol.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is the most widely used method for
dynamically maintaining routing tables. RIP uses a distance vector-
based approach to routing. Routes are chosen to minimize the distance
vector, or hop count, which serves as a rough estimate of transmission
cost. Each router broadcasts its advertisement every 30 seconds,
together with any updates to its routing table. This allows all routers on
the network to build consistent tables of next hop links which lead to
relevant subnets.
◆ RIP — Enables or disable the RIP protocol for the WAN or LAN
interface. (Options: Disable/v1/v2, Default: Disable)
