Description
RIP
RIP is an Internet protocol that you can set
up to share routing table information with:
•
•
•
•
•
•
LAN devices that support RIP
Remote networks connected via the
ADSL line
Your ISP’s location
Most small home or office networks do not
need to use RIP since they have only one
router and one path to an ISP. In these
cases there is no need to share routes
because all Internet data from the network
is sent to the same ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the
following circumstances apply to your
network:
Your home network setup includes an
additional router or RIP-enabled PC or
device. These routers will need to
communicate via RIP to share their
routing table information.
Your network connects via the ADSL
line to a remote network, such as a
corporate network. In order for your
modem to learn the routes used within
your corporate network, they should
both be configured with RIP.
Your ISP requests that you run RIP for
communication with devices on their
network
Accept V1
Accept Version 1 of the RIP protocol.
Accept V2
Accept Version 2 of the RIP protocol.
Sent V1
Send Version 1: Send RIP information to
other RIP-enabled devices.
Sent V2
Send Version 2: Send RIP Information to
other RIP-enabled devices.
