DESCRIPTION
#
This is the index of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
Interface
This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
Version
The RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
EMG sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP version
1
is universally supported but
RIP version
2
carries more information. RIP version
1
is probably adequate for most networks,
unless you have an unusual network topology.
Operation
Select
Passive
to have the EMG update the routing table based on the RIP packets received
from neighbors but not advertise its route information to other routers in this interface.
Select
Active
to have the EMG advertise its route information and also listen for routing updates
from neighboring routers.
Enable
Select the check box to activate the settings.
