RIP protocol
RIP (
Routing Information Protocol
) is a routing protocol which enables each router belonging to a network to
acquire the routes to any subnet.
The principle is as follows :
Routing table
Each router holds a routing table.
Each entry of the table consists in the destination subnet address and the adjacent router address leading to
that subnet.
Routing table broadcasting :
Each router broadcasts its table
.
Routing table update :
Each router updates its own table using the tables received from the other ones.
To enable RIP,
•
select the Setup>Network>Routing>RIP menu,
•
Select the ‘
Enable RIP on LAN interface” and the “Enable RIP on WAN interface” options.
