Configuring Dynamic Routing
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks. It allows the 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.
Dynamic Routing (RIP) enables the device to automatically adjust to physical
changes in the network layout and exchange routing tables with the other routers.
The router determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of
hops between the source and the destination. RIP is disabled by default.
NOTE RIP is disabled by default on the device.
To configure dynamic routing:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > Routing.
STEP 2 Configure the following settings:
Router (For advanced users only) Click this button to set
the device to act as a router.
Select this option if the device is on a network with
other routers.
Enabling the Router mode disables NAT (Network
Address Translation) on the device.
RIP Check Enable to enable RIP. This allows the device
to use RIP to route traffic.
RIP Send Packet Version Select the RIP Send Packet Version (RIPv1 or
RIPv2).
The version of RIP used to send routing updates to
other routers on the network depends on the
configuration settings of the other routers. RIPv2 is
backward compatible with RIPv1.
