WAN Configuration 2-13
•
The Receive RIP pop-up menu controls the reception and transmission of Routing Information Protocol
(RIP) packets on the WAN por t. The default is Both v1 and v2.
A Transmit RIP pop-up menu is hidden if NAT is enabled.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is needed if there are IP routers on other segments of your Ethernet
network that the Netopia Router needs to recognize. Set to “Both” (the default) Netopia Firmware Version
8.7 will accept information from either RIP v1 or v2 routers. Alternatively, select
Receive RIP and select v1 ,
v2 , or v2 MD5 Authentication from the popup menu. With Receive RIP set to “v1,” the Netopia Router’s
Ethernet por t will accept routing information provided by RIP packets from other routers that use the same
subnet mask. Set to “v2,” the Netopia Firmware Version 8.7 will accept routing information provided by RIP
packets from other routers that use different subnet masks.
For more information on v2 MD5 Authentication, see “RIP Options” on page 7-10 .
