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.

Configuring RIP is described in the following sections:

Configuring RIP

Troubleshooting RIP

Configuring 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:

Enabling RIP and Entering the RIP View

Enabling the RIP Interface

Configuring Unicast RIP Messages

Specifying the RIP Version

Configuring RIP Timers

Configuring RIP-1 Zero Field Check of the Interface Packet

Specifying the Operating State of the Interface

Disabling Host Route

Enabling RIP-2 Route Aggregation

Setting RIP-2 Packet Authentication

Configuring Split Horizon

Enabling RIP to Import Routes of Other Protocols

Configuring the Default Cost for the Imported Route
