Configuring Routing
Cisco RV 120W Administration Guide 51

NOTE RIP is disabled by default on the Cisco RV 120W.
To configure dynamic routing:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > Routing > Dynamic Routing.
STEP 2 To configure how the router sends and receives RIP packets, choose the RIP
direction:
• Both—The router both broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP
information received from other routers.
• Out Only—The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not
accept RIP information from other routers.
• In Only—The router accepts RIP information from other router, but does not
broadcast its routing table.
• None—The router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any
RIP packets from other routers. This option disables RIP.
STEP 3 Choose the RIP version:
• Disabled.
• RIP-1—This is a class-based routing version that does not include subnet
information. RIP-1 is the most commonly supported version.
• RIP-2B—This version broadcasts data in the entire subnet.
• RIP-2M—This version sends data to multicast addresses.
STEP 4 RIP v2 authentication forces authentication of RIP packets before routes are
exchanged with other routers. It acts as a security feature because routes are
exchanged only with trusted routers in the network. RIP authentication is disabled
by default. You can enter two key parameters so that routes can be exchanged
with multiple routers present in the network. The second key also acts as a failsafe
when authorization with first key fails.
To enable authentication for RIP-2B or RIP-2M, check the Enable box. (You must
also choose the direction as explained in Step 1.)
If you enabled RIP v2 authentication, enter the following first and second key
parameters:
