6.2 RIP
Setup
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance vector protocol for use intra-domain (on the
interior of a gateway). There are actually two versions of RIP in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Version 1 is the original. Version 2 is the updated version. Version 2 is used almost exclusively
because of its enhanced capabilities.
Your WANpro support both RIP-1 and RIP-2, 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.
Configuration can be performed on a per-interface basis. You can enable or disable RIP for each
interface, WAN, IDSL and LAN. The following table describes the RIP option of your WANpro.

NOTICE:
WANpro sends both of RIP-1 and RIP-2 in broadcasting mode, if you have third party router
connected with WANpro at same network segment or remote node, please configure the third
party router RIP-2 to broadcasting mode, therefore the third party router can receive the RIP-2
form WANpro, because WANpro do not support RIP-2 with multicasting mode.
Generally if RIP-2 operates at multicasting mode, it does not listen to the RIP-2 broadcasting and
so will not receive the RIP-2 packets. However, if one router uses broadcasting, then all routers
on your network must use broadcasting.
