Nortel Business Secure Router 222 Configuration — Basics
RIP Direction
With RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389),
a router can exchange routing information with other routers. The
RIP Direction
field controls the sending and receiving of RIP
packets. Select the RIP direction from
Both
/
In Only
/
Out Only
/
None
. When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the Business Secure Router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. When set to
Both
or
In
Only
, it incorporates the RIP information that it receives; when set
to
None
, it does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP
packets received.
RIP Version
The
RIP Version
field controls the format and the broadcasting
method of the RIP packets that the Business Secure Router sends
(it recognizes both formats when receiving).
RIP-1
is universally
supported but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably
adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network
topology. Both
RIP-2B
and
RIP-2M
sends the routing data in RIP-2
format; the difference being that
RIP-2B
uses subnet broadcasting
while
RIP-2M
uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load
on nonrouter machines because they generally do not listen to the
RIP multicast address and so do not receive the RIP packets.
However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your
network must use multicasting, also. By default, RIP direction is set
to
Both
and the Version set to
RIP-1
.
