a single autonomous system (AS). OSPF chooses the least cost path as the
best path.
While RIP is ideal for small- to medium-sized networks, OSPF is more
suitable for complex networks with a large number of routers. OSPF provides
equal cost multipath routing where packets to a single destination can be sent
via more than one interface simultaneously.
The IP Gateway also supports unnumbered networks. An unnumbered
network is a point-to-point connection without an assigned IP address This
feature reduces the number of IP addresses required.

RIP Parameters
RIP Enable Globally enables RIP 1, RIP 2, or No RIP. Default is RIP 2.
Values: Disable, Enable RIP1, Enable RIP2
Default: Enable RIP2
RIP Trust Neighbors Globally enables the trusted neighbors feature. If there is a list of trusted
neighbors in an IP Gateway, only RIP packets coming from those trusted
neighbors will be used to build the internal routing table.
Values: Enable, Disable
Default: Enable
RIP Interval Interval for RIP packet to be sent. Default is 30 seconds.
RIP Domain Value representing the RIP domain. Default is 0.
OSPF Parameters
OSPF Enable OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First Routing, which is a shortest-path-
first (SPF) or link-state protocol. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol that
