Interface field: Enables/Disables RIP for a particular interface. When you click the on button, then click the Apply button, six fields display for configuration: RIP In, RIP Out, Metric In, Metric Out, Version, and Auto Summarization.
Options: on/off
Default: off
RIP In field: Enables/Disables acceptance of RIP updates from that interface.
Options: on/off
Default: on
RIP Out field: Enables/Disables sending RIP updates on that interface.
Options: on/off
Default: on
Metric In field: Defines the RIP metric to add to incoming routes. This option is used to make this router prefer RIP routes from this interface less than RIP routes from other interfaces.
Range: 1-16
Default: 1
Metric Out field: Defines the RIP metric to add to outgoing routes. This option is used to make other routers prefer other sources of RIP routes over this router.
Range: 1-16
Default: 0
Version field: Specifies the version of RIP that is running on the interface. When you select Version 2, the Transport field displays.
Options: Version 1/Version 2
Default: Version 1
Transport field: Specifies the transport method -- whether packets should be multicast or broadcast. This field displays only when RIP Version 2 is selected. Multicast specifies that RIP Version 2 packets should be multicast on this interface. Broadcast specifies that RIP-Version 1-compatible Version 2 packets should be broadcast on this interface, even if IP multicast is available.
Options: Broadcast, Multicast
Default: Multicast
Auto Summarization field: Automatically aggregates and redistributes non-classfull RIP Version 1 into RIP. This field applies only to RIP Version 1. If the Auto Summarization field is set to Off, you must do the aggregation and redistribution manually using the Route Aggregation page and the Route Redistribution page.
Options: On/Off
Default: On
Apply button: Applies the parameters on the current page to the running system.
