This chapter describes how to configure Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
on the switch. RIP is a dynamic routing protocol for IPv4 networks.

RIP Overview
RIP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that performs dynamic routing
within a network. Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches support two
dynamic routing protocols: OSPF and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
Unlike OSPF, RIP is a distance-vector protocol and uses UDP broadcasts to
maintain topology information and hop counts to determine the best route to
transmit IP traffic. RIP is best suited for small, homogenous networks.
How Does RIP Determine Route Information?
The routing information is propagated in RIP update packets that are sent
out both periodically and in the event of a network topology change. On
receipt of a RIP update, depending on whether the specified route exists or
does not exist in the route table, the router may modify, delete or add the
route to its route table.
NOTE: Dell EMC Networking N1100-ON/N1500 Series switches do not support RIP.
