RIP
If RIP is enabled, the router operation can be
configured as active or passive. Click Apply
to save any changes.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a process of moving a packet from one node to another by forwarding the packet
to the next router. It determines a route based on the smallest hop count between source and destination routers.
If RIP is set to active, the router will advertise
its routes (reachability information) to others;
if RIP is set to passive, the router will not
advertise its routes, but will listen and
update its routes based on other routers’
advertisements.
