Reference Guide for the Model RM356 Modem Router Table 3-6. Menu 3 - Ethernet Setup Menu Fields (continued) Field TCP/IP Setup (continued) RIP Direction RIP Version Description This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing Information Protocol) with other routing devices on the LAN. If set to Both (default), the router broadcasts the routing table of the router on the LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing table. If set to In Only, the router broadcasts its routing table on the LAN. If set to Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. If set to None, the router does not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers on the LAN. Usually, you should leave this parameter at the default (Both) and let RIP propagate the routing information automatically. This field determines which version of RIP (Routing Information Protocol) will be used by the router. The following RIP options are supported by the Model RM356 Modem Router: • RIP-1-The router will accept and send RIP-1 messages only. • RIP-2B-The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in broadcast format. • RIP-2M-The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in multicast format. For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-2B. Select RIP-1 if other connected routers or workstations do not support RIP-2. Select RIP-2M only in a pure RIP-2 environment.

RIP Direction
This parameter determines how the router handles RIP (Routing
Information Protocol) with other routing devices on the LAN. If set to
Both (default), the router broadcasts the routing table of the router on the
LAN and incorporates RIP broadcasts by other routers into its routing
table. If set to In Only, the router broadcasts its routing table on the LAN.
If set to Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table, but it ignores
any RIP broadcast packets that it receives. If set to None, the router
does not participate in any RIP exchange with other routers on the LAN.
Usually, you should leave this parameter at the default (Both) and let
RIP propagate the routing information automatically
.
RIP Version
This field determines which version of RIP (Routing Information
Protocol) will be used by the router.
The following RIP options are supported by the Model RM356 Modem
Router:
•
RIP-1—The router will accept and send RIP-1 messages only.
•
RIP-2B—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both
broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in broadcast
format.
•
RIP-2M—The router will accept RIP-1 and RIP-2 messages (both
broadcast and multicast) and send RIP-2 messages in multicast
format.
For most applications, the recommended version is RIP-2B. Select
RIP-1 if other connected routers or workstations do not support RIP-2.
Select RIP-2M only in a pure RIP-2 environment.
