USER’S GUIDE130 CyberSWITCHconnection is over a WAN. You may want to assign this route a high number of hops to limit tollcharges, in case there is a local route that could be used.IP RIP P ROPAGATION CONTROLThis controls how a default route is propagated via IP RIP. The following table provides anexplanation of how a IP RIP propagation control flag can be assigned to a default route.R OUTING I NFORMATION P ROTOCOL (RIP) O PTIONRouting Information Protocol (RIP) is a protocol used to exchange routing information among IPdevices. Using IP RIP can automate the maintenance of routing tables on IP devices and relieve youof keeping the routing tables up to date manually. IP RIP determines the shortest path between twopoints on a network in terms of the number of “hops” between those points.ENABLING/D ISABLING IP RIPU SING CFGEDIT1. If you are installing new system software, the IP RIP processing is enabled by default if IProuting has been enabled. Therefore, if you have already enabled IP routing, you do not needto enable IP RIP. If you are upgrading software, the IP RIP processing is not enabled by default;you will need to enable IP RIP.2. To enable IP RIP:a. Return to the IP menu and enable IP routing if you have not already done so.b. Select RIP (Enable/Disable) from the IP menu, and follow the on-screen instructions forenabling IP RIP.Flag MeaningPropagate Always This flag indicates that the route information isalways propagated via IP RIP.This flag is available when the next hop is over aLAN or a WAN interface.Propagate only when theNext Hop is ConnectedThis flag indicates that the route information ispropagated via IP RIP only when the next hop routeris connected to the system.This flag is available when the next hop is over aLAN or a WAN interface.Do Not Propagate This flag indicates that the static route information isnot propagated over the interface.This flag is available only when the next hop is overa WAN interface.
