Scan interval |
The time delay between routing table imports and exports. For networks with fewer hosts, select a frequent scan interval. Networks with a greater number of hosts should use a less frequent interval. Note: There's a performance trade-off among the number of RIP-enabled devices, network hosts and the scan frequency of the RIP service. The periodic exchange of routing information among RIP-enabled devices increases the ambient level of traffic on the host network. Accordingly, administrators responsible for larger networks should consider increasing the RIP scan interval or the suitability of the RIP service for propagating routing information. |

RIP interfaces | |

Authentication | ||
---|---|---|
None | In this mode, routing information can be imported and exported between any RIP device. We don't recommend this option from a security point of view. | The authentication method. Turning on RIP authentication ensures that routing information is only imported and exported amongst trusted RIP-enabled devices. |
Password | In this mode, a plain text password is specified, which must match other RIP devices. | |
MD5 | In this mode, an MD5 hashed password is specified, which must match other RIP devices. | |
Password | Enter the password in the Password box and repeat it in the Again box. Don't copy and paste the password. | |

Direct routing interfaces | |
---|---|
Port 1.57 Solutions | The interfaces whose information should also include routes to the RIP service’s own interfaces when exporting RIP data. This ensures that other RIP devices can route directly and efficiently to each exported interface. |
