ProSafe VPN Firewall 200 FVX538 Reference Manual Routing Information Protocol (RIP) RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 2453) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is commonly used in internal networks (LANs). It allows a router to exchange its routing information automatically with other routers, and allows it to dynamically adjust its routing tables and adapt to changes in the network. RIP is disabled by default. To configure RIP parameters: 1. Select Network Configuration from the main menu and Routing from the submenu. When the Routing screen displays, click RIP Configuration. The RIP Configuration screen will display. 2. From the RIP Direction pull-down menu, select the direction in which the router will send and receives RIP packets. The choices are: • None - The router neither broadcasts its route table nor does it accept any RIP packets from other routers. This effectively disables RIP. • Both - The router broadcasts its routing table and also processes RIP information received from other routers. • Out Only - The router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not accept RIP information from other routers. • In Only - The router accepts RIP information from other routers, but does not broadcast its routing table. 3-14 v1.0, March 2009 LAN Configuration
