After IPX RIP is enabled, the switch broadcasts IPX RIP update packets periodically.
You can configure the update interval of IPX RIP as required. Note that for the
synchronization of routing tables, all the switches on the network must have the
same RIP update interval.
The aging period of IPX RIP is a multiple of the IPX RIP update interval. You can set
multiple update intervals as an aging period. If a routing entry is not updated after
three RIP update intervals, it will be deleted from the routing table. At the same
time, its associated dynamic service entry will be deleted from the service
information table.
By default, the maximum IPX RIP update packet size is 432 bytes. Considering the
32 bytes for the IPX and RIP headers, each update packet can carry up to 50
eight-byte routing entries.
IPX RIP uses hop count and ticks to measure the distance to a destination network
and route packets. The hop count of a packet adds by one upon each forwarding.
Ticks (1 tick = 1/18 seconds) indicate the delay that a VLAN interface experiences
