Static Route Example - NETGEAR FVG318 Reference Manual

– When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
– When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received.
3. Enable the RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the firewall sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.)
– RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network setup.
– RIP-2 carries more information.
– RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.RIP-2B broadcasts data in the entire subnet.
– RIP-2M sends data to multicast addresses.
4. If authentication is required for RIP 2B/2M:
– Select the Yes radio box.
– Input the MD-5 keys and Effective Start and End dates for the First and Second Keys for
MD5 based authentication between routers.
