Interfaces tab fields


Field Description
Address
The IP address of the router interface.
Domain
This value inserted into the routing domain field of all RIP packets sent on this interface.
AuthType
The field displays the type of authentication used on this interface. The valid authentication types are:
  • noAuthentication
  • simplePassword
Note: This field is not supported for RIPv1/V2.
AuthKey
The value to be used as the Authentication Key whenever the corresponding instance of Authentication Type has a value of "simplePassword".
Note: This field is only supported for RIPV2.
Send
What the router sends on this interface (selected from a pull-down menu):
  • DoNotSend--no RIP updates sent on this interface
  • ripVersion1--RIP updates compliant with RFC 1058
  • rip1Compatible--broadcast RIP-2 updates using RFC 1058 route subsumption rules
  • ripVersion2--multicasting RIP-2 updates
The default is rip1compatible.
Receive
Indicates which versions of RIP updates are to be accepted:
  • rip1
  • rip2
  • rip1OrRip2
The default is rip1OrRip2. Note that rip2 and rip1OrRip2 imply reception of multicast packets.
DefaultMetric
This variable indicates the metric that is to be used for the default route entry in RIP updates originated on this interface. A value of zero indicates that no default route should be originated; in this case, a default route via another router may be propagated.
SrcAddress
The IP Address this system will use as a source address on this interface. If it is a numbered interface, this must be the same value as the IP address of the router interface.
Status
This field displays the status of the RIP interface. The value of the field may be either enable or disable.

  1. In the Send field, use the pull-down menu to select which RIP version the router sends.
  2. In the Receive field, use the pull-down menu to select which RIP version the router listens for.
