Configuring RIP

RIP Routing

IP routing requires IP router interfaces to be configured on VLANs and a routing protocol to be enabled

and configured on the switch. RIP also requires a RIP interface to be created and enabled on the routing

interface. In the illustration below, a router interface and RIP interface have been configured on each

VLAN. Therefore, workstations connected to ports on VLAN 1 on Switch 1 can communicate with

VLAN 2; workstations connected to ports on VLAN 3 on Switch 2 can communicate with VLAN 2. Also,

ports from both switches have been assigned to VLAN 2, and a physical connection has been made

between the switches. Therefore, workstations connected to VLAN 1 on Switch 1 can communicate with

workstations connected to VLAN 3 on Switch 2.

RIP Routing Table

When the switch is initially configured, RIP must be loaded into the switch memory. Use the

command to load RIP.

To remove RIP from the switch memory, you must manually edit the boot.cfg file. The boot.cfg file is an

ASCII text-based file that controls many of the switch parameters. Open the file and delete all references

to RIP. You must reboot the switch when this is complete.

Note. In simple networks where only IP forwarding is required, you need not use RIP. If you are not using

RIP, it is best not to load it to save switch resources.
