timeout mechanism to handle timed out routes to ensure the timeliness and
validity of the routes. With these mechanisms, RIP, an interior routing protocol,
enables the router to learn the routing information of the entire network.
RIP has become one of the most popular standards of transmitting router and host
routes. It can be used in most campus networks and regional networks that are
simple yet extensive. RIP is not recommended for larger and more complicated
networks.
RIP configuration is described in the following sections:
Configuring RIP
■
Troubleshooting RIP
■
Only after RIP is enabled can other functional features be configured. But the
configuration of the interface-related functional features is not dependent on
whether RIP has been enabled.
After RIP is disabled, the interface-related features also become invalid.
The RIP configuration tasks are described in the following sections:
