Configuring Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RFC 2453, is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is
commonly used in internal networks (LANs). RIP enables a router to exchange its routing
information automatically with other routers, to dynamically adjust its routing tables, and to adapt
to changes in the network. RIP is disabled by default.
Table 4-4. Static Route Settings
Setting Description (or Subfield and Description)
Route Name The route name for the static route (for purposes of identification and
management).
Active To make the static route effective, select the Active checkbox.
Note: A route can be added to the table and made inactive, if not needed. This
allows routes to be used as needed without deleting and re-adding the entry.
an inactive route is not advertised if RIP is enabled.
Private If you want to limit access to the LAN only, select the Private checkbox. Doing
so prevents the static route from being advertised in RIP.
Destination IP Address The destination IP address to the host or network to which the route leads.
IP Subnet Mask The IP subnet mask to the host or network to which the route leads. If the
destination is a single host, enter 255.255.255.255.
Interface From the pull-down menu, select the interface that is the physical network
interface (WAN1, WAN2, LAN, or DMZ for the dual-WAN port models; WAN,
LAN, or DMZ for the single-WAN port models) or virtual interface (VLAN
profile) through which the route is accessible.
Gateway IP Address The gateway IP address through which the destination host or network can be
reached.
Metric The priority of the route. Select a value between 2 and 15. If multiple routes to
the same destination exist, the route with the lowest metric is used.
