Conguration Information
By default, RIP is disabled on the switch.
To congure RIP, you must use commands in two modes: ROUTER RIP and INTERFACE. Commands executed in the ROUTER RIP mode
congure RIP globally, while commands executed in the INTERFACE mode congure RIP features on that interface only.
RIP is best suited for small, homogeneous networks. You must congure all devices within the RIP network to support RIP if they are to
participate in the RIP.

The following is the conguration task list for RIP.
• Enabling RIP Globally (mandatory)
