RIP Interface Table

The RIP Interface Table window displays the following details:

• IP Address — Current IP address interfaces.

• Outgoing RIP — The type of RIP being sent.

• RIP Version 1 — Sending RIP updates compliant with RFC 1058.

• RIP Version 2 — Multicasting RIP2 updates.

• Do Not Send — No RIP updates are sent.

• Incoming RIP — The type of RIP being received.

• RIP Version 1 — Accepting RIP1.

• RIP Version 2 — Accepting RIP2.

• Do Not Receive — No RIP updates are accepted.

Edit the RIP Interface Table

To edit the RIP Interface Table:

1. Select an entry in the table.

2. Click  . The RIP Interface Table Edit window is displayed.

The RIP Interface Table Edit window has the following additional fields:

• Default Metric — Metric for the default route entry in RIP updates originated on this interface. Zero indicates that no default route is originated.

• Auto Send — When this parameter is enabled, this device advertises RIP messages in the default metric only. This allows some stations to learn the default router address. If the device detects another RIP message, Auto Send is disabled. Enable this parameter to minimize network traffic when the device is the only router on the network.

• Virtual Distance — Virtual number of hops assigned to the interface. This fine-tunes the RIP routing algorithm.

• Status — Status of the interface. Change this parameter to Invalid to delete this interface.

3. Edit the selected table entry fields and click  . The RIP Interface Table window is displayed.

4. Click  . When the Status field displays “Finished!”, the fields are confirmed as modified.
