8.9 RIP
CONFIGURATION
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is an Internet protocol that you can set up to share
routing table information with other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP’s location, or
on remote networks connected to your LAN via ADSL line.
Most home or small office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one router,
such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In this case, there is no need to share
routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to your network:
−
Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC (other
than the ADSL Router). The ADSL Router and the router will need to communicate
via RIP to share their routing tables.
−
Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a corporate
network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your corporate
network, they should both be configured with RIP.
−
Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their
network.
