Configuring 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). 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.

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

To display the page, click LAN > L3 Features > RIP > Configuration in the navigation tree.

RIP Admin Mode

Split Horizon Mode

Select Enable or Disable from the dropdown menu. If you select Enable, RIP is

enabled for the switch. The default is Disable.

Select None, Simple, or Poison Reverse from the dropdown menu. The default

is Simple. Split horizon is a technique for avoiding problems caused by

including routes in updates sent to the router from which the route was

originally learned. The options are:

• None: No special processing for this case.

• Simple: A route is not included in updates sent to the router from which it

was learned.

• Poison Reverse: A route is included in updates sent to the router from

which it was learned, but the metric is set to infinity.
