Destination IP address cannot be in the same IP network segment as that of WAN or
LAN IP address of the modem router.
When the interface is set to a WAN interface, the gateway IP address should be in the
same network segment as that of that of WAN port. When the interface is set to a LAN
interface, the gateway IP address should be in the same network segment as that of
the LAN port.
If you are not familiar with static IP, you’d better not configure this function.
Inappropriate static routes may cause fault to the network.
4.11.3 RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which
employ the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on
the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination. The maximum number of hops
allowed for RIP is 15, which limits the size of networks that RIP can support. A hop count of 16 is
considered an infinite distance and the route is considered unreachable.

Parameter description
It specifies the WAN interfaces you add in a WAN service with NAT disabled.
It specifies two RIP versions the modem router supports: RIPv1 and RIPv2.
RIP 1: The periodic routing updates do not carry subnet information.
RIP 2: The periodic routing updates carry subnet information.
Active: The WAN interface sends and receives RIP packets.
Passive: The WAN interface only receives RIP packets.
Select to enable the RIP function of this WAN interface.
