Referring
to Figure 11-10, you can change the following settings on the General tab:
?–? Operation Mode Can be Periodic Update (default for LAN interfaces) or
Auto-static Update (default for demand-dial interfaces). In general, you
want auto-static whenever a link is not connected at all times but you want
that route to stay valid on all your routers between updates even when the
connection is down.
Figure 11-9. Creating a new RIPv2 interface
367 Chapter 11: Routing and Remote Access
?– Outgoing Packet Protocol Controls how RIP packets are sent out from the
router. RIPv2 multicast is the most efficient since it uses multicasts rather
than broadcasts to send updates to routers. RIPv1 or RIPv2 broadcast are
general methods for broadcasting RIP packets. You should select RIP Version 1
Broadcast only if you need the compatibility with RIPv1 routers. Silent RIP can
also be selected if you don??™t want this router to send any RIP advertisements.
This is useful if you want this router to listen for and take in route information
from other routers but not share its routing table with anyone else.
?– Incoming Packet Protocol Specifies whether to listen for either RIPv1, RIPv2,
or both types of RIP announcements. You can also ignore all incoming packets
if you choose not to take updates from any other router.
?– Added Cost for Routes Adds an integral cost value to this interface.
