to share routes because all Internet data from the network is sent to the same
ISP gateway.
You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to
your network:
• Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC
(other than this one). This router and the other router will need to communicate
via RIP to share their routing tables.
• Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a
corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your
corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP.
• Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their
network.
