Introduction
The T-DAC provides support for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2. The T-DAC RIP version 2
subsystem provides management information in the form of RIP Version 2 addresses, parameters, and statis-
tics. Managing the RIP version 2 subsystem involves defining RIP Version 2 addresses and parameters, and
monitoring RIP Version 2 parameters and statistics on TCP.
All object identifiers described in this chapter comply with those contained in RFC 1724: RIP Version 2
MIB Extension.
RIP Version 2 Overview window
The RIP Version 2 Overview window (see figure 127) provides the means for you to manage the T-DAC’s RIP
Version 2 subsystem. The window displays the current values of certain RIP Version 2 operating parameters
and statistics, and provides the means for you to add IP addresses to the T-DAC’s RIP Version 2 table. The
window contains the following main sections:
The RIP Summary Statistics section
The Defined RIP Addresses section
The Define a New RIP Address section
Figure 127. RIP Version 2 Overview window
To display the RIP Version 2 Overview window, on the T-DAC configuration menu pane, click the RIP
Version 2 link.
The following sections describe the contents of the tables displayed on the RIP Version 2 main window.
RIP Summary Statistics
Statistics hyperlink—Clicking on the Detailed Statistics link displays the RIP Version 2 Statistics window
(see “RIP Version 2 Statistics” on page 237). For each subnet IP address in the T-DAC’s RIP Version 2
table, the RIP Version 2 Statistics window displays the RIP route status and statistical counts for Bad Pack-
ets, Bad Routes, and Sent Updates.
Route Changes Made (rip2GlobalRouteChanges)—The number of route changes made to the IP Route
Database by RIP. This does not include the refresh of a route’s age.
Responses Sent (rip2GlobalQueries)—The number of responses sent to RIP queries from other systems.
