Chapter 11. Configuring the Routing Information Protocol Note 4. Select a metric value for the interface. RIP uses a "hop count" as a way to determine the best path to a given destination in the network. The hop count is the sum of the metric values assigned to each port through which data is passed before reaching the destination. Among several alternative routes, the one with the lowest hop count is considered the fastest path. For example, if you assign this port a metric of 1, then RIP will add 1 to the hop count when calculating a route that passes through this port. If you know that communication via this interface is slower than through other interfaces on your network, you can assign it a higher metric value than the others. You can select any integer from 1 to 15. 5. Select a Send Mode and a Receive Mode. The Send Mode setting indicates the RIP version this interface will use when it sends its route information to other devices. The Receive Mode setting indicates the RIP version(s) in which information must be passed to the Ethernet Modem Router in order for it to be accepted into its routing table. RIP version 1 is the original RIP protocol. Select RIP1 if you have devices that communicate with this interface that understand RIP version 1 only. RIP version 2 is the preferred selection because it supports "classless" IP addresses (which are used to create subnets) and other features. Select RIP2 if all other routing devices on the autonomous network support this version of the protocol. 6. Click . The new RIP entry will display in the table. 7. Click the Enable radio button to enable the RIP feature. If you disable the RIP feature, the interface settings you have configured will remain available for future activation. Note 8. Click . A page displays to confirm your changes. 9. If you want the changes to be permanent, follow the instructions on page 46 to commit them. You can delete an existing RIP entry by clicking in the Action column. 113
