I wouldn't guarantee it uses RIP but there is a reference to "Dynamic
Routing" on page 64 of the manual.

I think I was just concentrating on this "Enter a device metric in the
"Device Metric" text box. The device metric is a value used by the
router to determine whether one route is superior to another,
considering parameters such as bandwidth and delay time."

No mention of RFC 1058 in the manual or here:-

Having had a trawl through various web sites it seems some people
believe that the f/ware is based on Jungo's OpenRG. If you look at the
Dynamic Routing section, page 61, then RIP certainly used to be an option.
