information with other routers.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 43 RIP
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
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 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 Device advertise its route information and also listen for routing
updates from neighboring routers.
Enabled Select the check box to activate the settings.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the Device.
