Configuring IP routing on an interface 715Programming Operations Guide7 Press Tab to save your settings.Enabling the RIP Subnet summary1 On the navigation tree, click the Services key and click the IP Routing key.The available interfaces for IP routing are listed under the IP Routing heading.2 Click the interface you want to configure.The Summary window appears.3 Click the Configuration menu and then click Enable Rip SubnetSumm.The message “Please wait..setting data” appears in the message bar at the bottom of theUnified Manager Window. After the Rip Subnet Summary is successfully enabled, themessage “Ready” appears in the message bar.Route Tag Allows you to create a special tag which identifies routes announced over the interface. The routetag helps identify route packets when debugging routing problems using a network sniffer.PoisonedReverseAllows you to enable or disable options designed to avoid routing problems such as loops ormetric values exceeding the maximum of 15 hop counts.The following options are available:Actual: A routing table update process where a routing table update going out repeats theinformation sent by the originator. The system tries to solve this state known as a loop involvingtwo routers by sending more routing updates.Split (split horizon): A routing table update process designed to avoid sending the same routinginformation back to the originator.Poisoned: A routing table update process designed to advertise unreachable routes as havingmetric value of 16 regardless of incoming routing update information.The default value is Split.TriggeredUpdatesAllows you enable immediate route update announcements whenever a metric or otherinformation changes in the routing table entries.When Triggered Updates is set to Enabled, the system gathers new routing information for theperiod of time defined in the Triggered Update Interval from the RIP Summary window (see“Configuring IP Routing global settings” on page 711). Triggered updates results in morefrequent, smaller RIP routing table updates.The possible values are Enabled and Disabled.The default value is Disabled.Announce DefaultRouteAllows you to enable or disable the announcement of default routes in incoming routeannouncements. Use caution when you enable this feature, because improper configurationcauses a loss of network connectivity. The possible values are Enabled and Disabled.The default value is Disabled.Accept DefaultRouteAllows you to enable or disable the acceptance of incoming default routes announcement.Sets default routes as static routes. If you run Net Link Manager to automatically backup theprimary WAN link using a dial-up link, Net Link Manager manages the default routes and thedefault routes that you add are non-operational as soon as a primary link breaks or comes upagain.The possible values are Enabled and Disabled.The default value is Disabled.Table 204 IP RIP Parameters (Continued)Attribute Description
