Routing Information Protocol (RIP) configuration

This section describes the Java Device Manager procedures used to configure and manage the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 Series. RIP is a distance vector protocol used to dynamically discover network routes based on information passed between routers in the network. RIP is useful in network environments where using static route administration would be difficult.

Global RIP configuration

Global RIP configuration is used to configure the RIP parameters that will apply to all active RIP interfaces. To configure global parameters, follow this procedure:

Step Action
