Change RIP configuration: 
1)  If necessary, change the Age and Update Time. These 
are global settings for all interfaces that use RIP.  
z 
Age is the amount of time in seconds that the device's RIP 
table will retain each route that it learns from adjacent 
computers.  
z 
Update Time specifies how frequently the MT800 will send 
out its routing table to its neighbors.  
2) In the IF Name column, select the name of the interface on 
which you want to enable RIP.  
3) Select a Metric value for the interface. RIP uses a "hop 
count" as a way to determine the best path to a given 
destination in the network. The hop count is the sum of the 
metric values assigned to each port through which data is 
passed before reaching the destination. Among several
