Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

This section describes the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). RIP is an Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) based on the Bellman-Ford algorithm and targeted at smaller networks
(network diameter no greater than 15 hops).

Overview

The routing information is propagated in RIP update packets that are sent out both periodically
and in the event of a network topology change. On receipt of a RIP update, depending on
whether the specified route exists or does not exist in the route table, the router may modify,
delete, or add the route to its route table.
The DWS-3000 switch supports RIP versions 1 and 2. RIPv2 supports carrying subnet
information in RIP packets, thereby enabling classless inter-domain routing. RIPv2 routers are
interoperable with RIPv1 routers on the network.

RIP Configuration

Use the RIP Configuration page to enable and configure or disable RIP in Global mode.
