Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring routing information protocol

You can configure Routing Information Protocol, version 1 (RIP1) parameters for the WSM. This option is turned off by default.

Note: Do not configure RIP1 parameters if your routing equipment uses RIP version 2.

To globally configure routing information protocol (RIP) for the WSM:

1. From the Device view, select the Web Switching Module.

The Web Switching Module is highlighted.

2. From the Edit menu, select WSM Card > IP Routing.

The IP Routing dialog box opens to the General tab.

3. Click the RIP tab.

The RIP tab opens.

4. In the RIP field, click On.
5. Click Enable or Disable in other fields as required.
6. In the Update Period field, type an update period (1 - 120 seconds) for RIP updates.
7. To advertise virtual IP addresses as Host Routes, click Enabled in the Advertise VIP Host Routes field.
8. Click Set > Apply > Close.

RIP is configured globally for the WSM, and the IP Routing dialog box closes.

9. To save the change, right-click the WSM card and choose one of the following from the shortcut menu:
• Save configuration (backup)--Saves changes to the active and backup WSM configuration blocks.
• Save configuration (no backup)--Saves changes to the active WSM configuration block.
