Advanced Configuration of the Basic Unit with the Setup Tool

controlled by a so-called Routing Protocol, e.g. RIP (Routing Information
Protocol).
RIP
Routers use the
➤➤
RIP
to exchange the information stored in their routing
tables by communicating with each other at regular intervals to mutually
supplement and renew their routing entries.
X4000
supports both version 1 and
version 2 of RIP, either exclusively or parallel.
RIP is configured separately for LAN and WAN.
Active and passive
Routers can be defined as active or passive routers: Active routers offer their
routing entries to other routers via
➤➤
broadcasts
. Passive routers accept
the information from the active routers and store it, but do not pass on their own
routing entries.
X4000
can do both.
WAN partner
If you negotiate to receive and/or send RIP packets from/to your WAN partner,
X4000
can exchange routing information dynamically with the routers in the
LAN of the WAN partner.

Receiving routing tables via the RIP is a possible security loophole, as external
computers or routers can change
X4000
’s routing functionality.
RIP packets do not set up or hold ISDN connections.
Field
Meaning
RIP Send
Enables RIP packets to be sent via the
interface to the WAN partner and LAN
interface.
RIP Receive
Enables RIP packets to be received via the
interface to the WAN partner and LAN
interface.
