LABEL DESCRIPTION
Interface This is the name of the interface in which the RIP setting is used.
Version The RIP version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the P-870HN-51D sends (it recognizes both formats
when receiving). RIP version 1 is universally supported but RIP version 2
carries more information. RIP version 1 is probably adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.
Operation Select Passive to have the P-870HN-51D update the routing table based
on the RIP packets received from neighbors but not advertise its route
information to other routers in this interface.
Select Active to have the P-870HN-51D advertise its route information
and also listen for routing updates from neighboring routers.
Enabled Select the check box to activate the settings.
Apply/Save Click Apply/Save to save your changes back to the P-870HN-51D.
