10.2 Configuring the RIP
Follow the steps below to configure your HM210dp/di to use RIP:
1. Select Services > RIP and the RIP Configuration page appears:
2. The page contains radio buttons for enabling or disabling the RIP
feature and a table listing interfaces on which the protocol is
currently running. The first time you open this page, the table may
be empty.
3. If necessary, change the “Age(seconds)” and “Update
Time(seconds):” values. These are global settings for all interfaces
that use RIP.
Age time is the amount of time in seconds that the device’s RIP
table will retain each route that it learns from adjacent computers.
Update Time specifies how frequently the HM210dp/di will send out
its routing table to its neighbors.
4. In the “IF Name” column, select the interface on which you want to
enable RIP.
For communication with RIP-enables devices on your LAN, select
eth-0 or the name of the appropriate virtual Ethernet interface.
For communication with your ISP or a remote LAN, select the
corresponding ppp, eoa, or other WAN interface.
5. Select a “Metric” value (hop count) for the interface.
RIP uses a “hop count” as a way to determine the best path to a
