description may be up to 30 characters long. Press <Enter>.
f. The following prompt displays:

g. The following prompt displays:
IP RIP Mode {Deaf (d),
Silent (s),
Active (a),
Inactive (i)} (s):
Define the RIP mode in which the virtual router port will operate. RIP (Router Information
Protocol) is a network-layer protocol that enables the default VLAN in this Group to learn
and advertise routes. The RIP mode can be set to one of the following:
Silent. The default setting shown in parentheses. RIP is active and receives routing infor-
mation from other VLANs, but does not send out RIP updates. Other VLANs will not receive
routing information concerning the default VLAN in this Group and will not include the
VLAN in their routing tables. Simply press <Enter> to select Silent mode.
Deaf. RIP is active and sends routing information to other VLANs, but does not receive RIP
updates from other VLANs. The default VLAN in this Group will not receive routing infor-
mation from other VLANs and will not include other VLANs in its routing table. Enter d and
press <Enter> to select Deaf mode.
Active. RIP is active and both sends and receives RIP updates. The default VLAN in this
Group will receive routing information from other VLANs and will be included in the rout-
ing tables of other VLANs. Enter a and press <Enter> to select Active mode.
Inactive. RIP is inactive and neither sends nor receives RIP updates. The default VLAN in
this Group will neither send nor receive routing information to/from other VLANs. Enter i
and press <Enter> to select Inactive mode.
h. If routing domains are not configured on the switch, go to the next step. If routing
domains are configured on the switch, the following prompt displays:
Apply to Routing Domain ID (none) :
Enter a routing domain in which this group should be included, or press Enter. A routing
domain is a grouping of IP router interfaces that can forward packets only within the
domain. Routing domains are part of Advanced Routing software and are not part of the
base code. For more information about routing domains, see Chapter 14, “Routing
Domains,” in the Advanced Routing User Manual.
i. After you enter the RIP mode, or after you enter a routing domain ID, the following
prompt displays:
