Explanation
RIP DISABLE RIP protocol is disabled.
Ver 1
RIP protocol is in the RIP1 compatible mode. This
mode should be used if other customer’s
equipment support only RIP1 protocol.
Ver 2
RIP protocol is in the RIP2 mode. This is the
normal mode. You should select this mode if you
do not have a real need for another mode. This is
also the default mode.
Ver 1 & 2
RIP protocol is in the combined RIP1 and RIP2
mode. In this mode, the RIP sends and receives
packets in both RIP1 and RIP2 formats.
This mode should be selected only on the gateway
radio when the OEM equipment connected to the
Ethernet port supports RIP1 only, while the rest of
the network, including all the Harris radios, are in
the RIP2 mode.
