RIP
This chapter covers configuring the RIP settings for your ZyXEL Device.
11.1 RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange
routing information with other routers.
RIP Direction
controls the sending and receiving of
RIP packets. When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the ZyXEL Device 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
controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
ZyXEL Device 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
send 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.
