U The interaction of static and dynamic tables
The router uses the static and dynamic tables to calculate the actual IP rout-
ing table it uses to determine the path for data packets. In doing so, it in-
cludes the routes from the dynamic table which it does not know itself or
which indicate a shorter distance than its own (static) route with the routes
from its own static table.
U Scaling with IP RIP
If you use several routers in a local network with IP RIP, you can represent
the routers outwardly as one large router. This procedure is also known as
“scaling”. As a result of the constant exchange of information between the
routers, such a router theoretically has no limits to the transmission options
available to it.
U Configuration of IP-RIP function
D In the field 'RIP support' (or 'RIP type') the following selection is possible:
D 'off': IP-RIP is not used (default).
D 'RIP-1': RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received but only RIP-1 packets
are sent.
D 'RIP-1 compatible': RIP-1 and RIP-2 packets are received. RIP-2
packets are sent as an IP broadcast.
D 'RIP-2': Similar to 'RIP-1 compatible', except that all RIP packets are
sent to the IP multicast address 224.0.0.9.
D The entry under 'RIP-1 mask' (or 'R1 mask') can be set to the following
values:
Configuration tool Menu/table
LANconfig IP router
General RIP options
WEBconfig Expert Configuration
Setup IP-router
RIP-config
Terminal/Telnet
