RIP 23-1
This chapter shows you how to configure RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
23.1 Overview
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a routing device to exchange routing information with other routers.
The Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:
1. Both - the ES-4024 will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it
receives.
2. Incoming - the ES-4024 will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.
3. Outgoing - the ES-4024 will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.
4. None - the ES-4024 will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that ES-4024 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.
23.2 Configuring RIP
Click Routing Protocol, RIP in the navigation panel to display the screen as shown. You cannot manually
configure a new entry. Each entry in the table is automatically created when you configure a new IP domain in the
IP Setup screen (refer to the section on IP routing domain setup).
