Figure 21. Example of RIP Setup Page
Note: RIP messages will only be sent when the cable modem/router is configured for Static IP Addressing
(see the
Basic – Setup page).
It is unlikely that your cable Internet service supports this mode. If they do, and you want to enable
RIP, you will need to ask for the CMTS’s key name and number. You may need additional
information.
To enable the cable modem/router to perform RIP, do the following (this example uses BRCMV2 as
the RIP Authentication Key and 1 as the Key ID):
• To turn on RIP MD5 Authentication, and check the Enable box.
• To specify a RIP MD5 Authentication Key String, type BRCMV2 for this example.
key name = a string value to match CMTS key name value
• To specify a RIP MD5 Auth Key ID, type 1.
key number = a number to match the CMTS key number value
• To change the RIP announcement interval, enter a number in seconds.
reporting interval by default = 30 seconds
• To specify a RIP unicast destination IP address, enter the IP address and subnet mask.
