Configuring the ROUTER’s Interfaces with RIP
The following instructions describe how to enable RIP on the ROUTER .
Note
In order for the ROUTER to communicate with other
devices using RIP, you must also enable the other devices
to use the protocol. See the product documentation for
those devices.
1. Log into the Configuration Manager, click the Services tab,
and then click
RIP in the task bar.
The RIP Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure
43.
Figure 43. RIP Configuration Page
The page contains radio buttons for enabling or disabling
the RIP feature and a table listing interfaces on which the
protocol is currently running. The first time you open this
page, the table may be empty.
2. If necessary, change the Age and Update Time.
These are global settings for all interfaces that use RIP.
fAge is the amount of time in seconds that the
device’s RIP table will retain each route that it learns
from adjacent computers.
fUpdate Time specifies how frequently the ROUTER
will send out its routing table its neighbors.
3. In the IFName column, select the name of the interface on
which you want to enable RIP.
For communication with RIP-enabled devices on your
LAN, select eth-0 or the name of the appropriate virtual
Ethernet interface.
For communication with your ISP or a remote LAN, select
the corresponding ppp, eoa, or other WAN interface.
(See page 49 for a description of various interfaces and
their names.)
