Wellink Corporation NEOBIT1014VA Manual Do Utilizador

The following instructions describe how to enable RIP on the 
NEOBIT 1014VA. 

 

Note 

1.  Log into the Configuration Manager, click the Services tab, 

and then click 

 in the task bar.  

The RIP Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 41. 

 

 

The page contains radio buttons for enabling or disabling the 
RIP feature and a table listing interfaces on which the protocol 
is currently running. The first time you open this page, the table 
may be empty. 

2.  If necessary, change the Age and Update Time. 

These are global settings for all interfaces that use RIP.  

 Age is the amount of time in seconds that the device’s RIP 

table will retain each route that it learns from adjacent 
computers. 

 Update Time specifies how frequently the NEOBIT 1014VA 

will send out its routing table its neighbors. 

3.  In the IFName column, select the name of the interface on 

which you want to enable RIP. 

For communication with RIP-enabled devices on your LAN, 
select eth-0 or the name of the appropriate virtual Ethernet 
interface. 

For communication with your ISP or a remote LAN, select the 
corresponding ppp, eoa, or other WAN interface. 

(See page 

 

 

 

. for a 

description of various interfaces and their names.) 

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
