7.3.8 RIP Setup
This page allows configuration of RIP parameters related to authentication,
destination IP address/subnet mask, and reporting intervals. RIP automatically
identifies and uses the best known and quickest route to any given destination
address.
You need to enable (default) RIP (Routing Information Protocol) feature and
configure its related settings and then click

.
RIP determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and
destination. It is a distance vector protocol that routinely broadcasts routing
information to its neighboring routers.
