the metric values assigned to each port through which data is 
passed before reaching the destination. Among several 
alternative routes, the one with the lowest hop count is 
considered the fastest path.  

For example, if you assign this port a metric of 1, then RIP will 
add 1 to the hop count when calculating a route that passes 
through this port. If you know that communication via this 
interface is slower than through other interfaces on your 
network, you can assign it a higher metric value than the others. 

You can select any integer from 1 to 15. 

5.  Select a Send and Receive Modes. 

The Send Mode setting indicates the RIP version this interface 
will use when it sends its route information to other devices. 

The Receive Mode setting indicates the RIP version(s) in which 
information must be passed to the VisionNet 202ER-4 in order 
for it to be accepted into its routing table.  

RIP version 1 is the original RIP protocol. Select RIP1 if you 
have devices that communicate with this interface that 
understand RIP version 1 only. 

RIP version 2 is the preferred selection because it supports 
“classless” IP addresses (which are used to create subnets) 
and other features. Select RIP2 if all other routing devices on 
the autonomous network support this version of the protocol.
