LABEL DESCRIPTION
# This is the index of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
Interface This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
Version The 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 version 1 is universally
supported but RIP version 2 carries more information. RIP version 1 is probably adequate for
most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Operation Select Passive to have the Zyxel Device update the routing table based on the RIP packets
received from neighbors but not advertise its route information to other routers in this interface.
Select Active to have the Zyxel Device advertise its route information and also listen for routing
updates from neighboring routers.
Enable Select the check box to activate the settings.
Disable Default
Gateway
Select the check box to set the Zyxel Device to not send the route information to the default
gateway.
Cancel Click Cancel to restore your previously saved settings.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the Zyxel Device.
