■ Configuring the network layer addresses of interfaces so that adjacent nodes
are reachable to each other at the network layer

Functions
Enabling RIP globally and on the interface of a specified network segment

■ RIP can be enabled on an interface only after it has been enabled globally.
■ RIP operates on the interface of a network segment only when it is enabled on
the interface. When RIP is disabled on an interface, it does not operate on the
interface, that is, it neither receives/sends routes on the interface nor forwards
its interface route. Therefore, after RIP is enabled globally, you must also specify
its operating network segments to enable it on the corresponding interfaces.
