Router Mode
The available settings for router mode are as follows:
■ Disabled — The Switch ignores all incoming RIP packets and does not
generate any RIP packets of its own.
■ Enabled — The Switch broadcasts RIP updates and processes
incoming RIP packets.
Update Time
This Switch sends a RIP message every 30 seconds (by default) with both
the IP address and a metric (the distance to the destination from that
router) for each destination. You can modify the update time if needed to
adjust performance.
