G.shdsl Router User Manual
RIP Mode: this parameter determines how the
product handles RIP (Routing information
protocol). RIP allows it to exchange routing
information with other routers. If set to Disable,
the gateway does not participate in any RIP
exchange with other routers. If set Enable, the
router broadcasts the routing table of the
router on the LAN and incorporates RIP
broadcast by other routers into it’s routing
table. If set silent, the router does not
broadcast the routing table, but it accepts RIP
broadcast packets that it receives.
RIP Version: It determines the format and
broadcasting method of any RIP
transmissions by the gateway.
RIP v1: it sends RIP v1 messages only.
RIP v2: it sends RIP v2 messages in multicast
and broadcasts format.
Authentication required.
None: for RIP, there is no need of
authentication code.
Password: the RIP is protected by password,
authentication code.
MD5: The RIP will be decoded by MD5 than
protected by password, authentication code.
Poison Reserve is for the purpose of promptly
broadcast or multicast the RIP when the route
is changed. (ex shutting down one of the
routers in routing table)
Enable: the gateway will actively broadcast or
multicast the information.

multicast the information.
