Routing Information Protocol next generation (RIPng) uses User Datagram Packets
(UDP) to send routing information. This is based on RIP version 2 but used for IPv6
routing.
• Check Enable to enable RIP IPv6 routing.
• Check Passive to disable sending RIPng version.
Passive configuration is activated only when Enable is checked.
Note
RIPng (IPv6)
This is a security feature that forces authentication of RIP packets before routes are
exchanged with other routers. This is not available for RIPv1.
• Check Enable to enable authentication so that routes are exchanged only with
trusted routers on the network.
• Password: Select the authentication type — Plain (common method of
authentication) or MD5 (challenge-response authentication mechanism) — and
enter the password.

for RIPv1)
Step 3 Click Apply.
IGMP Proxy
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol that is used for multicasting. The protocol
operates between routers and hosts that belong to multicast groups. Multicast IP addresses are a special range
of IP addresses that are dedicated to reduce traffic on the network. When a multicast group is assigned a
multicast address, any multicast traffic for the group will be sent to this IP address. The IGMP can be used
for resources of web and support applications like online streaming for videos and games. The IGMP proxy
enables the router to issue IGMP messages on behalf of the clients behind it.
To enable the IGMP proxy, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select Routing > IGMP Proxy.
Step 2 Check Enable IGMP Proxy to allow the router and the nodes to communicate with each other.
Step 3 Select the Upstream Interface from the list.
Step 4 Select the Downstream Interface from the list to enable the IGMP proxy to receive IGMP membership requests.
Step 5 Click Apply.
