Configuring General Protocol Settings

Use the Routing Protocol > RIP > General (Configure) page to configure general settings and the basic timers.

RIP is used to specify how routers exchange routing information. When RIP is enabled on this router, it sends RIP messages to all devices in the network every 30 seconds (by default), and updates its own routing table when RIP messages are received from other routers. To communicate properly with other routers using RIP, you need to specify the RIP version used globally by the router, as well as the RIP send and receive versions used on specific interfaces.
