Routing Information Protocol Overview of RIP Routing Information Protocol is a distance vector routing protocol. It transfers the complete routing table to all interfaces periodically and only uses hop count to determine the best path to a remote network. Configuring RIP RIP is relatively simple to configure. The following is an example of how to configure RIP on a router. Enter router configuration mode. router#conf t Turn on the RIP protocol router(config)#router rip Assign which networks RIP will advertise (this also has the effect of selecting which interfaces RIP will be active on) router(config)#network x.x.x.x When using the network x.x.x.x expression x.x.x.x will be the subnet to advertise. As RIP is a classful routing protocol this will need to take the form of a standard Class A,B, or C address e.g. 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0 or 192.168.1.0. Example Configure RIP to advertise the subnets 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.5.0 router#conf t router(config)#router rip router(config)#network 192.168.1.0 router(config)#network 192.168.5.0 To turn off RIP router#conf t router(config)#no router rip References Routing_Information_Protocol CCNA Certification
