• RIP 2 (broadcast) - this sets the Datacryptor to be compatible with RIP version 2 but
uses the broadcast mode. Some networks that are using RIP 1 may want to use RIP 2
but not use multicast transmissions. This will ensure that RIP responses are not
addressed to multicast address 224.0.0.9.
Note: IGMP is not needed since these are inter-route messages that are not
forwarded.
Metric
This sets the metric (or cost) that is associated to each route that is advertised in RIP responses
sent out by the Datacryptor unit.
Generate Authentication Entries
RIP 2 can implement an authentication entry in the first part of its response that contains a
password. If a router matches its own RIP password with that of the RIP response authentication
entry it will accept the routing information in the RIP response. Tick this check box to enable
the inclusion of authentication entries in RIP 2 messages sent from the Datacryptor Ethernet.
Password
This field contains the password to be associated with the authentication entry.
