Rip Commands - ZyXEL Communications XS3800-28 Cli Reference Manual

This chapter explains how to use commands to configure the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the
Switch.
74.1 RIP Overview
RIP is a protocol used for exchanging routing information between routers on a network. Information is
exchanged by routers periodically advertising a routing table. The Switch can be configured to receive
and incorporate routing table information sent from other routers, to only send routing information to
other routers, both send and receive routing information, or to neither send nor receive routing
information to or from other routers on the network.
Apart from RIPv1 and RIPv2 for IPv4, the Switch also supports RIPng (RIP next generation) for IPv6. RIPv2
uses UDP port 520 and the multicast address 224.0.0.9, while RIPng uses UDP port 521 and the multicast
address FF02::9.
Note: You must purchase the Advance Routing service license and go to myZyxel to activate
it for your Switch in order to use advanced L3 routing features, such as RIPng and
OSPFv3 for IPv6. See
