IP RIP is a protocol used to exchange routing information among IP devices. Using IP RIP can
automate the maintenance of routing tables on IP devices and you of manually keeping the routing
tables up-to-date. IP RIP determines the shortest path between two points on a network in terms of
the number of hops between those points.
If routing is enabled, and IP RIP is enabled, there will be default IP RIP information configured
under for LAN type interfaces and WAN interfaces. This configuration information is defined in
the section titled
Network Interface Configuration Elements .
Notes: WAN connection information is propagated on LAN connections. Currently, IP RIP is
supported over:
•
LAN
• WAN (Remote LAN)
• numbered WAN
RIP is supported over WAN (RLAN) and numbered WAN links regardless of type of telco
access (dedicated, semi-permanent dial-up, or normal dial-up). Typically, however, it is
enabled over usage-sensitive WAN links, such as dedicated or semi-permanent dial-up.
For a more detailed explanation, refer to IP RIP and the IP Network Interfaces .
