set ip ip-ppp [

vccn

] rip-send { off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-MD5 }

Specifies whether the Netopia Gateway unit should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
broadcasts to adver tise its routing tables to routers on the other side of the PPP link. An
extension of the original Routing Information Protocol (RIP-1), RIP Version 2 (RIP-2)
expands the amount of useful information in the packets. While RIP-1 and RIP-2 share the
same basic algorithms, RIP-2 suppor ts several new features. For example, inclusion of
subnet masks in RIP packets and implementation of multicasting instead of broadcasting.
This last feature reduces the load on hosts which do not suppor t routing protocols. RIP-2
with MD5 authentication is an extension of RIP-2 that increases security by requiring an
authentication key when routes are adver tised.

This command is only available when address mapping for the specified vir tual circuit is
turned “off”.

If you specify

v2-MD5, you must also specify a rip-send-key. Keys are ASCII strings with a

maximum of 31 characters, and must match the other router(s) keys for proper operation
of MD5 suppor t.

set ip ip-ppp [

vccn

] rip-receive { off | v1 | v2 | v1-compat | v2-MD5 }

Specifies whether the Netopia Gateway should use Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
broadcasts to update its routing tables with information received from other routers on the
other side of the PPP link.

If you specify

v2-MD5, you must also specify a rip-receive-key. Keys are ASCII strings

with a maximum of 31 characters, and must match the other router(s) keys for proper oper-
ation of MD5 suppor t.
