7.5 RIP
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a routing protocol based on the dis-
tance vector algorithm. It is used for the dynamic creation of the routing table
for routers.
7.5.1 Configuration
With this dialog you can enter both general settings and settings for each port
for the routing information protocol.
General settings
X Operation: Switch the RIP function on and off.
X Auto Summary Mode: Switch the auto summary mode on and off.
When this is switched on, RIP combines a number of subnetworks
together, where possible, in order to reduce the range of routing infor-
mation in the routing table.
X Host Routes Accept Mode: Switch the host routes accept mode on and
off. When this is switched on, RIP allows you to enter routes with a
32-bit network mask.
X Propagate Default Route: Switch the propagation of the default route
on and off.
X Update interval: The time interval at which the router transfers the
entire content of the routing table to the RIP neighbors. You can set
values in the range from 1 to 1000 seconds. Values below 10 seconds
cause an increased network load in larger networks.
The router sets the other RIP timers accordingly:
Timeout: 6 x update interval
Garbage collection: 10 x update interval
