Configuring the RIP version

You can specify the RIP version to use on interfaces configured to send (supply) or receive (listen to) RIP updates.


Note Note: The AuthType and AuthKey parameters are not supported.

To configure the RIP version:

  1. From the Device Manager menu bar, choose IP Routing > RIP > Configuration.
    2. The RIP dialog box opens with the Configuration tab displayed.

The table below describes the Configuration tab fields.


Field Description
Address
The IP address of the router interface.
Domain
The value inserted into the Routing Domain field of all RIP packets sent on this interface.
AuthType
The type of authentication used on this interface.
AuthKey
The value to be used as the Authentication Key whenever the corresponding instance of rip2IfConfAuthType has a value other than noAuthentication.
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.

  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.
  3. Click Apply.
