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 VMG 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 VMG 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 VMG advertise its route information and also listen for routing
updates from neighboring routers.
Enable
Select the check box to activate the settings.
Disable Default
Gateway
Select the check box to set the VMG to not send the route information to the default
gateway.
