4.8 RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
This feature allows your XRouter Pro to send and receive RIP packets
to/from other routers on the Internet. RIP is a protocol being used by
some routers on the Internet. By sending and receiving RIP packets, your
XRouter Pro will learn the routes used by neighboring routers. This can
increase your its routing performance. The XRouter Pro supports RIP-1,
RIP-1 compatible, and RIP-2.
RIP- 1: RIP 1 is used to exchange RIP packets with older routers which do not
support RIP 2.
RIP-1- compatible : RIP-1 compatible allows the broadcast of RIP-1 and RIP-2
multicast packets. It can also receive both types.
RIP-2: RIP-2 is used to exchange RIP packets with newer routers. When using
RIP-2, you can only exchange information with RIP-2 routers.
Select the type of RIP you would like to enable from the TX(transmit) and
RX(receive) pull-down menus.
The RIP feature is considered an advance feature, and is not required for
the use of XRouter Pro. If you are not familiar with RIP, you may not want
to enable this feature. By enabling TX, you can send information about
your router to the Internet.
