5.2.3.1 Supported Session Protocols
Certain applications require an Application Level Gateway (ALG) to provide the required transparency for an application
running on a host in a private network to connect to its counterpart running on a host in the public network. An ALG may
interact with NAT to set up state information, use NAT state information, modify application-specific payload, and perform
the tasks necessary to get the application running across address realms.
No more than one server of a particular type is supported within the private network behind the SU/End Point B. The
following table lists the supported protocols with their corresponding default ALG's:
5.2.4 RIP
: RIP is configurable only when the devices are in Routing Mode and Network Address Translation (NAT) is disabled.
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a dynamic routing protocol, which can be used to automatically propagate routing table
information between routers. The device can be configured in RIPv1, RIPv2, or both while operating in Routing mode.
When a router receives a routing update including changes to an entry, it updates its routing table to reflect the new route.
RIP maintains only the best route to a destination. Therefore, whenever new information provides a better route, the old
route information is replaced.
To configure RIP parameters, navigate to ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > Network > RIP. The following RIP screen
appears:
