RIP configuration
NOTE:
The LB module supports configuring RIP only in the web interface.
RIP is a simple Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), mainly used in small-sized networks, such as academic
networks and simple LANs. It is not applicable to complex networks.
RIP is widely used in practical networking because it is easy to implement, configure, and maintain.
Configuration prerequisites
Configure the link layer protocol
Configure an IP address on each interface, and make sure all adjacent routers are reachable to
each other
