LABEL DESCRIPTION
RIP Direction
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to
exchange routing information with other routers. The
RIP Direction
field controls the
sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from
Both
/
In
Only
/
Out Only
/
None
. When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the Prestige will broadcast its
routing table periodically. When set to
Both
or
In Only
, it will incorporate the RIP
information that it receives; when set to
None
, it will not send any RIP packets and
will ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version
The
RIP Version
field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the Prestige sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving).
RIP-1
is
universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably
adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology. Both
RIP-2B
and
RIP-2M
sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that
RIP-2B
uses subnet broadcasting while
RIP-2M
uses multicasting. Multicasting can
reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP
multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router
uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting, also. By
default, RIP direction is set to
Both
and the Version set to
RIP-1
.
