c. Specify the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway information for the
internal static route.
d. Select an enabled subnet from the Interface(s) column’s drop-down menu to complete
the table entry. Information in the Metric column is a user-defined value (from 1 to
65535) used by router protocols to determine the best hop routes.

5.4.1 Setting the RIP Configuration
To set the RIP configuration:
1. From within the RIP Configuration field, select the RIP Type from the drop-down menu. The
following options are available:
No RIP The No RIP option disallows the AP-5131’s router from exchanging
routing information with other routers. Routing information may
not be appropriate to share, for example, if the AP-5131 manages
a private LAN.
RIP v1 RIP version 1 is a mature, stable, and widely supported protocol. It
is well suited for use in stub networks and in small autonomous
systems that do not have enough redundant paths to warrant the
overhead of a more sophisticated protocol.
RIP v2 (v1 compat) RIP version 2 (compatible with version 1) is an extension of RIP v1’s
capabilities, but it is still compatible with RIP version 1. RIP version
2 increases the amount of packet information to provide the a
simple authentication mechanism to secure table updates.
