RIP (Router Information Protocol).
RIP is used to broadcast routing information among routers.
Enable RIP.
Enable RIP if required by the ISP, if the LAN has
multiple routers, or if the LAN has auto-IP devices. NOTE:
When you select the Enable RIP check box, these additional
features appear:
RIP Operating Mode. The MBR1000 router supports both
version 2 and version 1 of the RIP specification.
V1. Use if none of the routers supports Version 2.
V2 Broadcast. Use if some routers are capable of
Version 2, but some are only capable of Version 1.
V2 Multicast. Use if this is the only router on the
LAN or if all the routers support Version 2.
Router Metric.
The additional cost of routing a packet through this router. The normal value for a simple network is 1. This metric is added to
routes learned from other routers; it is not added to static or system routes.
Act as Default Router.
Make this router the preferred destination for packets that are not otherwise destined.
Accept WAN Updates.
For security, disable this option unless required by the ISP.
RIP Password.
RIP Version 2 supports the use of a password to limit access to routers through the RIP protocol. If the ISP or other LAN router
requires a RIP password, enter the password here.
