Lesson 2
Static and Dynamic Routing
5-23
4. Click the RIP icon and, on the Action menu, click New Interface. The New
Inter-
face For RIP Version 2 For Internet Protocol dialog box appears.
5. In the Interfaces list, select the interface that connects your computer
to the LAN
and then click OK. A RIP Properties dialog box for your selected interface
appears.
In the General tab, you can specify whether the RIP outgoing messages your
server transmits should use the RIP version 1 or version 2 packet format,
broad-
casts or multicasts, or no transmissions at all. You can also specify
whether the
server should process incoming RIP messages that use the version 1 format,
ver-
sion 2, or both.
6. Click the Advanced tab and then change the Periodic Announcement Interval
(Seconds) setting to 300 seconds.
The Periodic Announcement Interval (Seconds) setting is the frequency at
which
the router transmits its RIP messages. In a stable network where
configuration
changes and communications failures are rare, you can safely increase this
setting
to reduce the amount of broadcast traffic RIP generates.
7. Change the Time Before Routes Expire (Seconds) setting to 1800 and the
Time
Before Route Is Removed (Seconds) setting to 1200.
If you increase the Periodic Announcement Interval (Seconds) value on all
the RIP
servers on your network, you must increase these two settings as well so
that the
router does not purge the routing table too quickly of information from RIP.
8. Click OK. The interface you selected appears in the details pane, along
with sta-
tistical indicators displaying the number of RIP messages the server
transmits and
receives.
9. Leave the Routing And Remote Access console open for the next exercise.
Exercise 3: Disabling Routing and Remote Access
In this procedure, you disable RRAS, removing the configuration you just
created. This
leaves RRAS in its original state, so that you can create different
configurations later in
this chapter.
1. Click SERVER01 (local) and, on the Action menu, click Disable Routing And
Remote Access. A Routing And Remote Access message box appears, warning you
that you are disabling the router.
2. Click Yes. The Routing and Remote Access service is stopped, and the
subhead-
ings beneath the SERVER01 (local) icon disappear.
3. Close the Routing And Remote Access console.
