When you install RIP for Internet Protocol on a single-homed server running
Windows NT Server 3.51, SilentRip is set to 1. This allows the Server to
accept, but not send, RIP Broadcasts to other RIP compliant routers. This
is useful in that the server always maintains the quickest route to a
location in a WAN environment, and is able to use different routes in case
a router fails.
When you install RIP for Internet Protocol on a multihomed Windows NT
server, SilentRip is set to 0. This allows the Windows NT server to listen
for and send RIP packets on the network.
