Select V2 Broadcast if some routers support RIP version 1 and some support RIP
version 2.
Select
V2 Multicast if the ZyXEL Device is the only router on your network or that

Router Metric The metric represents the “cost” of transmission through the ZyXEL Device. IP
routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for
directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates the cost for this
link. The number need not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice,
2 or 3 is usually a good number.
